Good to join you`,
I've been dyspraxic all my life, only diagnosed age 40.
Being ancient, at Primary school I was considered lazy clumsy and stupid, there was much surprise when I passed 11plus, similarly g.c.c.e.'s
Work in an office was a nightmare, I did eventually enjoy work as a film extra and forum moderator.
I'm so pleased that two of my dyspraxic grandchildren have much more support and encouragement.
Most forums seem to be for children and parents, it would be nice to talk to other dyspraxic adults.

Hello @Janners
Welcome to the community
I hope you are keeping well today?
Just to let you know, I popped your post in our Autism and Neurodiversity section of the forum, in the hopes you find more people with dyspraxia to talk too
