why are the boads all different?
it very differnet from ebfor. i will get uesed to it. i like the pictuer you have of dority.
my handwriting isnt bad anymore but it was always readable when I was a kid. I was about 11 when I was diagnosed. My mother told me I outgrw it but my balance isn't so great as NTs but its very good for an aspie.
hi :grin: i'm ali and i've got severe dyspraxia and i was diagnosed when i was about 2! lol
I was about 9 when i was diagnosed with Dysplaxia.
I really can't remember. However, I can remember that I was in the CDC when I first knew about it, I think it's just one of those 'You'll always remember where you were' things. I imagine I was quite young as I do not have a proper memory of being informed. I think I was doing some excersises. However, I was attending Springfield school at that time so I couldn't have been older than 8 or younger than 4.
I did not vote because I was not officially DX. I first heard of dyspraxia
when Amy suggested I might have it. I would say between 6-10 it was
was very clear to my mom and dad that I had some major motor skills
problems. When I think about it as crazy as it sounds it was hard for
me to breath through my mouth while holding my nose shut. I could
not send the message from my brain to make it happen. Now I'm sure
I could pass out and my body would have auto turned on mouth breathing
but when I had to do it by choice I could not do it(I can now).
Hi. I just found a link to this on Wikipedia. I never heard of it before, but I'm wondering if I might not be a mild or borderline case. I'm very clumsy, often have trouble getting up from a sitting or kneeling position, always had trouble with ball sports, often have trouble getting my mouth to speak words (like there's a "block" in my head) and maybe stutter a bit and sometimes forget what I'm trying to say while attempting to get it "out". I have to be very careful walking through crowded rooms not to knock things over and break them. And objects tend to slip through my fingers without warning. I was wondering if this is an experience anyone can relate to? Or is it just something to do with AS or some other thing?
I'm nervous making this post in case someone says "don't be stupid". The only thing I can think of that's a possible negation is that my handwriting isn't so bad although I did have a tendency to write backwards a lot when I was a kid and couldn't tell my left from right until I injured myself at age nine. But perhaps I'm just being dumb...
I did some cognitive tests down in Oxford (UK) and one of the results sed I was dyspraxic!
Well.. I don't know if I was or not, but I clearly have some associated difficulties going by what I've read on Wikipedia.
I had a deal of difficulty with coordinated activities like catching a ball, I'm cross-lateral (this was picked up in primary school) and I don't have great balance.
I also have a touch of; Dyslexia, Dyscalcula (i'm poor at mental arithmetic) and Dysgraphia.
I also have difficulty sequencing tasks and remembering lists (short term)
I dont properly know what it is , but i guess i am not. I am bad at coordinating but not at fine motoric things like writing (well I tend to have a not very beautiful handwriting atm , but if i wrote slolier could do that and i can write with my opposite had , and i can write mirroring.)but i am really bad at catching although since i am witht eh cricket it got better. When I did the Kendo I was bad as hell
but that are more bigger motoric things not fine motoric ones.
Last December, at age 48 . Had a student with AS and was doing research on how to deal with him in the classroom. I fit practically every one iof the criteria and headed for the psychologist's office.
I haven't been diagnosed for those but seeing as how it's mainly associated with AS, and the fact that I can't understand math unless its very very easy, plus I have very bad motorskills and was granted a laptop to use from the schoolboard because my writing was so poor, I know I have it.
I was diagnosed at 8, what about everyone else?
55 yrs old ..2 months ago...
Diagnosed at 24. Before that everyone said that I was clumsy or stupid or I wasn't trying hard enough.
