Thanks so much for making this video. I have some friends with dyspraxia and this really helps to understand.

hi im matthew im 44 and have been diagnosed for two hours now lol and am doing some reserch . I'm very emosional at the mo but it hasn't quit sunk in yet .im also deaf and have adhd diagnoses .thank you for your story meagan . i find my ability to act like I'm keeping up is falling flat on its face and I'm struggling to explain to friends why I'm anxious in the work place or trying to find work or what jobs I'm able to develop complete understanding the skills i need or where I'm not treated patted on the head and get treated like an idiot

It sounds like you have not only dyspraxia but also ADD inattentive type (without hyperactivity), maybe sluggish cognitive tempo. Many of the other commenters seem to have this problem too, as do I. I've read that ADD has more comorbidities than other disabilities do because it's foundational. ADD is multidimensional, affecting not just those who fit the stereotype of the disruptive kid in class. Social anxiety, and selective mutism can be secondary problems for many people. You may also be interested in the Enneagram (see www.enneagraminstitute.com), especially types 5 and 9. There are many other people with your issues, even whole types for people like you and me.

I've had a math disability and motor dyspraxia since i was a kid and some days its a struggle to do things but I guess you just gotta push forward and do the best you can

ok random youtube lady.. youre absolutely fantastic and beautiful in every meaning of those words, you are it. dont ever change. Not too often do people take in the sights that they pass by everyday which they call home. also, the song is perfect:D im in love with your perspective:D

I am exactly the same. I'm studying at postgraduate level now and it's the first time I've felt like it's going to be really hard to complete the degree. I totally get what you're saying about writing essays and getting lost, writing way too much and having to completely dissect a subject to be able to write a paper on it, when that isn't necessary! It gets me down too as I'm so frustrated at myself, as it makes me feel unintelligent, that I can't organise and focus my head enough to be able to complete the tasks at hand. Especially when it comes to the topics I'm researching, I could tell someone in person exactly what I think and my findings, when questioned...but in writing, it just doesn't happen easily. I find it's worse at postgrad now as the topics are more complex and I end up thinking so big that I get myself in knots and can't simplify the issue enough to condense into a 6000 word paper etc. Plus it's frustrating that I've managed to complete my education to this point, yet can't hold a pen properly, drop things constantly and walk into walls...you have to laugh! You're definitely not alone! It doesn't help that education systems still don't seem to have a grasp of the unique challenges of dyspraxic persons...

Great video, totally get where your coming from. Its good that your parents tried to get you the help you needed, just like mine. Although, I was diagnosed at 6, but didnt realise (I know that might sound daft) until recent years. It makes a lot of sence now though. In primary school, I had Occupational therapy and speech therapy, and pen grips. I got the "could do better" "try harder"..handwriting was always scruffy up until about year 9 (13/14 yrs old). Ive always known I was different but wasn't sure why, but I like being different, and Ive just learned to cope in my own way. Im 24 now, and I still havce some 'difficulties' with some stuff, but I don't look at it as having difficulty, its just the way I am and how I do stuff because I haven't had the understanding of it till recently. My spacial awarness isn't that great , especially if im out and about on my own. Thats probbly the thing thats the most difficult because I feel like things seem strange and Ican seethings, but I can't at thesametime if that makes any sence, Km not surehow to explain it and I feel like people are looking at me as ifI look strange or something. But apparently its anxiety...I feel draied when I get home and my eyes are tired, and I think pffft thank gotimhome, and I feel betterbeing in my own house, or wherever I feel comfortable. I feel I can look around more...

I'm a fellow dyspraxic and had pretty much the same problems when it came to writing and holding a pen. I can also relate to the part where you talk about your experiences with teachers who believed that you weren't putting in enough effort in to your studies. I always felt like I understood most things but found it difficult putting them in to practice. Unfortunately for me I went to a school which had pretty much no understanding or resources involved with educating people with our condition. I just gotta say thanks for posting this video, it's great knowing that there are others out there who experience and see the world in a similar way to myself

I have Dyspraxia and it is very difficult for me right now, its ruined my life in many ways I don't really want to be negative on you page. I male 25 never been employed, never had any friends, Overweight due to childhood being negative and bullying (by teachers and students) not being able to reed body language or understand signals, instant gratification and frustration, makes finding other people extremely hard IRL, I can't even tell if anyone likes me even if they did.

great video! I'm Dyspraxic too, I've had similar experience to you although my handwriting is terrible. (I'm rubbish at organisation)

If it's any consolation, you are not alone with what you're saying.

Very interesting video - thank you for sharing this :-)

hey just listened to your vlog im dyspraxic and have many similar issues to yourself and find it hard to organise myself and be a productive in certain aspects of my life. i suffered anxiety from a young age (i even locked myself in a toilet for one whole day due to being shy and anxious about meeting new people due to my dyspraxia) i used to get laughed at all the time for "looking lost or confused".should check out dyspraxicadults org uk its a good forum for people with our Disability.
