Does Anyone Have Knowledge on Dyspraxia

oldngrumpy

Someone replied to a question I raised on the possibility of being Dyspraxic a few weeks ago. 

I was encouraged to speak within this forum and not private message.

I don't know where to start, as in asking questions on the above subject.   

I have had a severe brain injury affecting me and my daily tasks for over forty years. 

So what a experienced person with knowledge  on the effects of being Dyspraxic, maybe in my mind perfectly normal in my life.

Off a Tangent...

I since the RTA have always had problems but especially the memory. I was employed by our Good Old NHS, and these people were getting concerned with my memory.

So they sent me to see a top dog Psychologist.  I had weeks of tests. And around six weeks later I went back for the results. It was then I was told that I had a Traumatic Brain Injury... I was told this is the reason why I have Memory/Mood Swings/Motivation/Co-ordination problems.

To me this was normal life. I had been struggling for over twenty five years whilst in employment. With no explanation on why I was like this.

So now can people understand why I may look at any, or if any, problems caused by Dyspraxica I may look at this as normal problems

I hope people can understand me, my English is Hodge-podge.

I was told once to not read into this Dyspraxia because it is complex.

Could any good folks reading this with knowledge on Dyspraxia, give some examples on the difficulties? Perhaps I may be able to relate.

I am not Paranoid.   Thank you Folkies ?

Hi @oldngrumpy I don't personally have dyspraxia, but the NHS website says: 

Symptoms of dyspraxia can vary between individuals and may change over time. You may find routine tasks difficult.

If you have dyspraxia it may affect:

• your co-ordination, balance and movement

• how you learn new skills, think, and remember information at work and home

• your daily living skills, such as dressing or preparing meals

• your ability to write, type, draw and grasp small objects

• how you function in social situations

• how you deal with your emotions

• time management, planning and personal organisation skills

Have you spoken to your doctor about your queries over whether you may have dyspraxia?

Thank you Tori.
I have been querying this for over ten years. Once/if we make our way out this Pandemic, I shall make enquiries on the problem. Thank you
