Dyspraxia!?
My younger brother have severe Dyspraxia where his body is kina floppy and he won’t ever be capable of ride a bike properly. He is perfectly regular but it’s the little things, he has adjectives these things too but much worse and more symptoms. I don’t know what’s going on with me, I though Dyspraxia be supposed to get better as you get older. Im lone thinking this because my brother has it and some of the symptoms are approaching mine. My arms are really, really weak and I can’t even button people that are smaller than me.
I also expect I have OCD and so do other relations I know, not my parents of course. Im not going to speak to my mum just about this because she will just read aloud something like“Yeah we’ve all get abit of it” Something really silly like that. I could walk to my doctor but I don’t want to march within there axiom “I have Dyspraxia” and she say “No you haven’t”
I don’t know if you can get mild Dyspraxia or not, if I enjoy it or not? It upsets me a lot because I really required to go and achieve a nice job doing something I really approaching, not just this crap charge but I don’t even have the motivation to budge back to college because I basically can’t concentrate on things, I feel close to there’s no point in living if I can’t only just be normal.
What do you devise?
Thank you.

Answers: Hi honey
I'm very mildly dyspraxic. You can definately receive it to different degrees, within fact experts have an idea that about 10% of us suffer from it to a solid degree but with the sole purpose 2 or 3% are serious, like your brother.
The perfect news is it doesn't hold to hold you back. I'm a trainer so it's perfectly possible to own a good duty and career. In reality, I didn't know I was dyspraxic til I started schooling and a special needs expert I work next to diagnosed me. I just thought I be clumsy, messy, disorganised and embarrassingly bad at sport cos I'm so unco-ordinated!
My suggestion would be to speak to your doctor. She won't tell you you're not dyspraxic as a GP isn't an expert. She will refer you to a specialist who will be capable of get you to do test and diagnose you. Then they will be able to afford you some tips about coping beside dyspraxia. Personally I've just developed my own ways of handling it as I didn't find out til I be in my 20s what be wrong. Now I've got my testimonial and am doing a good brief, I've started challenging my dyspraxia and forcing myself to do things I never thought I would. I've just now taken up ballroom dancing, although I've have to repeat the beginners class twice and I'm still terrible! Not brave adequate to learn to drive nonetheless but give me a few years and I'll offer it a go!
Please speak to your GP - she will be sympathetic and sustain you get tested and diagnosed. Then you can start to find ways round it. I used to do an department job and it be a nightmare cos you have to be very well organised all the time so I don`t know you should head pay for to college and qualify to do something else - I'm really glad I did!
Hope that helps a bit, sweetie.
