I am not sure if I have dyspraxia I also have dyslexic

I am dyslexic

I thought it was autistic and adhd in me. I don’t have dominant hand. I bump into stuff all the time. I write chicken scratches with both hand. I don’t tie shoes and buy clip on.

Dyspraxia here as well.. you speak so much like me, our speech patterns are so similar even though I am American. I have never heard anyone who speaks like me before. Thank you for sharing.

I've only known about my dyspraxia for a few months (in my 40's) and had always just assumed I was useless and stupid in many ways. It's so powerful to see others discussing it so openly and validating the ways I experience dyspraxia...because there's still a huge part of me that just thinks "yeah but you're also just useless and stupid" :( Thanks for making this!

"But who doesn't bang on the door frames?" They don't :) I presume this from the surprise on people's faces. Sunday I have my first speaking exam in a foreign language ever and want to start it with information about dyspraxia and aprosody, which have a negative impact in fluence and accents. It has even in my mother language. So when I saw your eyes looking into emptiness due those little brain blackouts and other time searching in the corners of the room for any working synapses, I felt like you're my closest relative. I actually saw myself in you and that was the best feeling of my evening. I'm AuDHD and my BF is probably ASD person and... he didn't recognize any difference in the way of your fluency or eye movement in comparision to other people.

Could you have dyspraxia without autism or are these two always connected?

I have only just recently been diagnosed at age 55!! You literally just described my entire life. Thank you for making me realize I wasn’t a failure 🙏🏼

Thank you for sharing your story 🙌

I have it and it frustrates me I struggle with processing information my head goes into overdrive and my coordination is all over the place

nice video

I daydreamed in school I got adhd. But I keep dropping and spilling things could I have dyspraxia as a comorbidy?

I was diagnosed with dyslexia when I was about 19 and the psychiatrist told me I also have dyspraxia. This would have been 2000 or maybe 1999 I hadn't even heard of it until then.

Dude, listening to you talk is just like listening to myself when I'm editing my videos 😂 thanks for making this.

Good on ya n chin up, lass! Love from America!

I was born premature and I think I have dyspraxia, albiet been misdiagnosed so many times I don't care to be a pillhead guinie pig again...😅

I've been abused so much so often by my family and yelled at until I realized that I'm dyspraxic.

'Hi. I have Dyspraxia. I now this beause my Mum told me as a child. No one hads ever really explained it to me before. I an now 46. I look very young for my age. I have as far as I know never met another adult with Dyspraxia. I don't work. I have had jobs. Keeping a job is very hard for me. Its nice to know there are others out there a little bit like me. Im 2 yeas late to the video. Thank you for the video.

My Son is 34 has Dyspraxia , dyslexia, dyscalcula, ADHD . I don’t think he will learn to drive , he couldn’t tie his shoe laces till age 11. I have no coordination ADhd , and dyscalcula . My daughter with Asperger’s and ADHD was clumsy but not diagnosed with dyspraxia. Most girls with ADHD day dream in classroom setting , it is to escape like meditation, you don’t want to be at school , but if it’s a subject you like you can hyper focus , most girls with ADHD are low on hyper activity scale and more distracted and inattentive in classroom. I had no coordination and can’t catch or throw balls , I was good at high jumper hurdles , long jump , discus anything that didn’t involve a ball .

I want more cooking with jodie hehehehehehe

A common theme I'm noticing with these developmental coordination disorder videos is the lack of focus on the complete lack of fetal development in the womb as a contributing factor to the disorder, the key word here being development. Maybe it's because I'm a Pisces or maybe because I was born 1 lb 8 oz i.e around the size of a coke can, but I've always found baths, and swimming underwater and staying underwater to be very therapeutic and grounding per se haha. Perhaps, maybe it's because I watched other videos of other people with Dyspraxia or as it is known in America Developmental Coordination Disorder or DCD, and I noticed that they never seem indicate that at least the part of the disorder is biological in nature and the other is a dysfunction in what would be normally regulated brain functions i.e motor skills, etc. You can practice repetition and routine, you can kind of work your way out of it, but it never really goes away, of course. Just my two cents, chin up and onward!

Seeing you make a cuppa tea made me want a cup! God bless and Onward!

So happy to have stumbled upon this video. I’m a person with dyspraxia in the USA. It’s so rarely diagnosed here. Most people don’t even know what it is. Heck, my own parents don’t understand it.

Undiagnosed. I learned how to bike, but for the life of me, I never quite learned how to swim. I think my PE teacher took pity in me so I could graduate highschool. Writing with a pencil/pen has always been a big challenge for me.

I'm black, in my late 50s and was diagnosed at 54 with dyspraxia dyslexia dyscalculia and adhd

Love and respect for you. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and story.

It's like a light bulb going off when you finally find the word DYSPRAXIA.

Is that why during conversation I

How do you keep your home tidy? Can you write on paper without looking?

I'm dyspraxic and I approve this message. Everything you said resonates so much with me. It's one of the most unknown disabilities and because we're on the autism spectrum It's the worst and best of both worlds tbh there's nowhere near enough awareness made about it.

"Give me a break..." As long as you say the meaning respectfully. I've Dyspraxia myself and I can imagine the struggles just to make anything.

I love that kit Kat bar cup.

Your video was really inspiring! Thank you! 🙌😍

This is amazing, I suffer greatly with social situations and had to come to terms with how dyspraxia/dyslexia/autism affects me. I was always told dyspraxia is a part of me not the whole of me gets me through. More needs to be done for earlier diagnosis for children who have it I was fortunate really to have the help

This video is great I'm currently in the process of being diagnosed with dyspraxia but somehow it's taking it's time as the NHS can't find avenues to diagnose an adult with dyspraxia. I struggle on a daily basis with diffrent things I got support during exams but didn't do great. I can't write on a bit of paper for someone to read sometimes I struggle Thanks for posting I have liked the video and hopefully watch more

Are you a good dancer ???.....are you good with the scissors ??

like this video I was diagnosed with it when I was kind but only recently got told that I had this. the way I remember left and right is I broke my right thumb and not my left . Yah I wasn’t good at making note’s even as it was being written I still can’t do that as for with talking I trip over my words at times or I’ll talk fast . Sports for me was hit and miss my spilling is not the best that way I use alto correct on here and texting as well as using a dictionary and I’m bad at maths and I can’t fully read the old fashioned clock fully and a lot of people have tried to help me with that but it doesn’t click but I can understand/read the digital ones as for condition for myself it’s hard for me to explain so I’m going to leave that at that .

It's like you're pulling the words right out of my brain in a way that explains it so well. Thank you for expressing your lived experience.

I am a 55-year old man who learned recently he had dyspraxia. Driving is a pain and I have not driven in years, though I always renew my licence. I can't ride a bicycle and I was never good at team sports. But I learned how to swim. In a way, I am glad to see I am not alone. I have no dyslexia though. I was very good in school and even got a Master's degree, although my handwriting was a challenge. This is a condition where no two people are the same. I am good under stress situations ( moving, dealing with ill parents, etc).

Girl, I can't even explain how much I identify with you. All your struggle through school are the same as mine. Your cadence is the same as mine. Thank you so much for this video. I'm 31 and struggled my whole life being physically slow also my learning, being born at 34 weeks, weighing 1lb 14oz. I'm yet to get a diagnosis but it would explain so much for me.

I'm pretty sure I have dyspraxia but undiagnosed as I'm 42yo and this diagnosis didn't exist when I was in school. I was very shy as well so I fell under the radar all the time. A friend who is a psychologist is the one who suggested I have this. Before I was thinking I had Aspergers. But then again maybe I'm both. Kinda pointless to get a diagnosis this late in life for me. I've always known I was different from everyone else but didn't know why. My channel is about health, fitness, & diabetes management but you can definitely tell that I'm an Aspie or dyspraxia. I really don't like watching myself on video talking.

I really enjoyed your video, thank you x

Huge respect for sharing this powerful video. I resonate with many of your experiences. In school though I was a chatterbox and that masked that something else was up. I also drive, sheer force of will and lots of practice. When I am behind the wheel I am on a mission, so despite my clumsiness outside of a car I've been told I'm a good driver... hyperfocus. Don't ask me to park though! Failed my first test on parallel parking. Passed my second as it wasn't tested :) Regularly get caught repeating things, usually three times. Also completely fail when out in public and someone addresses me. Deer in the headlights, mind blank... Great video

Hi! I'm an adult with undiagnosed Dyspraxia.

I experience it too. From Russia.

I can totally relate, thank you!

I was diagnosed at 10 with Dyspraxia and Asperger at 14 so I completely understand how challenging it can be dealing with 2 neuro disorders, I was quite lucky because I had support through secondary school although due to me struggling to concentrate I still didn't do very well. For me it was very confusing because my Dyspraxia would affect me in some ways whereas in some circumstances my Asperger would counter-act the symptoms of it. For example I would be very focused when in IT or science yet in English or maths I would fail because I couldn't concentrate in those particular subjects.

Great video. I’m Dyspraxic, and I experience many of these things daily. Watching from London.

Thankyou for making this video. Definitely resonates alot and you come across really well in camera. I'd started a channel myself and I really like getting out and filming things but I really struggle infront of camera, words just are hard to come out and I feel my speech to be slurred and lazy sounding. I don't want to give up though il find a way around it :-)

My face at the end ◉‿◉
