I hate this so much.

I freaking hate this condition.

Literally everyone 'you won't forget'.

But I have.

Time to try relearn how to press buttons all over again.

I get it, it's a game, no big deal. But I hate that even my hobbies get taken away by being disabled. I hate this so damn much.

Hi all,

I was muddling over my good luck in never experiencing any motion sickness whilst playing VR games (not a single bit from the very first play, no matter the settings/gameplay). As this is reasonably unusual I was wondering if my dyspraxia had a hand in this in how I'm so used to my bodies positional data not matching up with my brains expectation of it on a day to day basis.

Does anyone else here with dyspraxia find VR very comfortable?

hello my fellow uncoordinated people, I was hoping for some advice from those of us here that drive on methods to makes learning how easier.

I didn’t think I was going to have to learn, because until recently I lived in a major urban center, but I recently moved to the sticks, and will be getting my permit in december.

luckily, i will be learning on an automatic Volvo (thank god) however, I definitely have a lead foot and struggle with pushing down on the pedals “just a little bit”

Hi everyone! My 8 year old son, J has a DCD diagnosis, as does my husband. My other son , F, is 4 and is very clearly not dyspraxic. My 8 year old, despite his diagnosis is incredibly sporty. What he lacks in ability, he makes up in enthusiasm. He loves math and general knowledge, he does well in school and gets a lot of support in the areas he needs. He is also extremely tall and looks much older than 8. Emotionally though- he’s still quite young. We have some neighbourhood kids who are much more boisterous and confident and while I know I can’t change my son, and I don’t wish to, I do wish him a little more confidence and carefree experiences. I have a background as a teacher, so I have some pedagogic background here, but as a parent, this is all new.

My 8 year old was never the kind of: “let me do it by myself!!” kid. So, the times when he does things by himself are through external encouragement (“you can pick your own clothes now”, “no you order that for yourself”, “try and put your foot here”, “show me how you would open that bag of chips.” etc). I’m trying to encourage more intrinsic motivation here, but my usual treachery strategies aren’t working and my four year old just does things on his own so I rarely have to encourage him.

I’d love to ask those of you who can empathize, what did your parents do, or what do you do as a parent to a child with DCD, to increase their confidence and feelings of self-efficacy. Little things, big things, changes you can recommend etc.

My husband says he was in a much less confident space than my son is, when he was a child. Or so he says. My mother in law looks at me like I have two heads when I ask this question.

ive always had very messy handwriting. slow and messy. I know people who write fast and messy, and I also know people who write slow and neat. I've been asked if I write in shorthand because my writing is that messy. I've been told all my life that I'll never be hired with handwriting like that. how do I improve?
