This guy's done a lot better than I did. I am diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome, but used to be a grade A pupil, and not bad at sport. No offence, but I was just thinking, this guy probably never runs.
i'm twenty and i just discovered that i have dyspraxia, now that i know it it seems like im' getting even worse in doing things, i am more tired and speaking is becoming difficult. I had always difficulties in sports, dressing, eating, coordination, organizing, driving, but the worst part is at work. I discovered it at my first work because i'm slower at doing things, i'm lazy depressed, i have no confidence in myself i have always to think that i forgot something or that i have done something wrong. The fact that i never had difficulties in school, i had great grades even without studyng too much... i don't know i can keep going for hours maybe lol. What are the works that a dyspraxic can do?
Hi James Moretti, I will tell you a little about myself in the hope that it may help you somewhat. I'm 32, living with dyspraxia. My story is pretty similar to your story. I get depression quite often, I have almost no confidence in myself or my abilities and I really struggled through school and uni, which I had to drop out of because I didn't realise that their was help that I could've received for dyspraxia. I was sick of being called stupid, for being clumsy, sick of being asked if I was cold because I have a tremor in my hands. I don't know if I have articulated this properly but, their is help out their: dyspraxiafoundation.org.uk/ . There is a helpline on that website that you could ring for any queries that you have.
Exactly like me : Just diagnosed @ 58. It all just got too much & finally went for a private assessment. The absolute exhaustion of driving And also being in time (so hard for a dyspraxic)... Best thing ever done But just like you; I felt that My signs and symptoms were worse but I'm absolutely sure; it is because I'm now more aware. I have tomorrow to face another manager due to work issues = Wrong job to have accepted via my support worker bank. Challenging behaviour person who locked us out her house just at handover to create a drama & I was unable to unlock a difficult door to let is back in! I also cannot handle oppressive controlling types and was ordered by staff taking over:"calm down!". She suggested this wasn't the place for me to work maybe? I said- she was right. I wasn't so much angry but overwhelmed by a panic attack. By now I was very anxious and shaking with cold . So now I gave been reported for some reason! So again- will need to hand over my shortened report of my diagnosis and explain my particular needs. But I'm now being referred to their occupational health dept. I'm fine in areas of my work which are gentler and slower but I'm having to completely reevaluate EVERYTHING pretty much. I'd strongly recommend EMDR trauma therapy as it helped me a lot pre-diagnosis Rewire my brain bit by bit after years of bullying. I'm actually Now thinking about going into a safer and more gentle housing set up where I have the routine off-pat and don't have new situations to try to decode& Nursing was Extremely impossible with Dyspraxia - especially working in theatre as a student nurse. I was always exhausted and could not remember all the huge nor of tasks. Even making beds.....was a nightmare & I was always slow & couldn't work fast as they need you to in general wards. I switched to home terminal care with just 1 patient and no other difficult dynamics with overbearing staff and Dr's. A Nighmare that I survived. Not sure how now. I'm not able to cope with crowds of unknown neighbours, banging doors and just general Dealing with people. ...here where I live & bullied again. I don't feel I will be bullied again; as now I know I'm not stupid or a failure and my self esteem is immediately far better. I'm now to get ADHD diagnosis also....& know they often go hand in hand. I need medication for low Dopamine & don't want to keep harming myself with excess caffeine to wake me up and alcohol to medicate my anxiety when just driven. I hope my story though brief Helps someone.
I was advised a job where the routine is now in our area of strength =We have strong long term memory abilities Compared to job with much change and need for memory...unless you have ways around short term memory difficulties. Ie constant notes in pockets Or timers used Breaking tasks down. Taking rests. Once at work We can ask for Occupation health Appointment to help us. That's their expertise and not for us to worry even more about. ..when we are Already compromised and trying doubly hard.

Beautifully explained.

Why do you think you did better at school, but not after?
