Yeah - I managed to get diagnosed young so I got all the perks at primary, but I was reading Harry Potter while everyone in my class was reading Roald Dahl type stuff


I'm glad she got diagnosed when she did, because everything would be so hard for her without her diagnoses, even though my mam doesn't want to give her a label, but it's better to have an explanation than for her to be put down so much for it.
She had one of the only A*s in her class science project and I swear I've never been so proud of her than I was in that moment

Good. I'm not trying to put her down or anything but most people with dyspraxia just wouldn't cope otherwise - me included


Did you just say its ok to put down someone with dyspraxia? That's horrible!

A*? In primary?:eek::adore:

But yeah - it is better to have the label - I think if you look at the legalities and stuff she should be entitled to a Disability Living Allowance (or something like that). Plus it helps prevent the bullying and stuff

As it says in the title, just post a random (true) piece of information about yourself.

I think she's going to be a mini me, god help us if she is!
Yeah, we've applied for her blue badge and are in the process of looking at what other help we can get for her.
We did have a slight issue with her new school about footwear, but once we explained exactly why she needed her boots due to her pigeon toedness, weak ankles etc we were able to allow her to wear them

I think you may be able to use motability as well (I am). What's so bad about you?

Nothings bad about me, I'm just deemed as intelligent, I was getting the same sort of grades as her, I was one of the best in my class for a lot of things

I'm 17 and i have travelled to two countries by myself


If you live on the mainland Europe this isn't the most difficult thing to do. Maybe miss a stop on the train in France and oopsie Belgium

Yeah - that's my attitude for everything. Alongside "expect the worst, anything else is a pleasant surprise - that way you're never disappointed"

Exactly!
I am left-handed but I play guitar right-handed.


I also have a massive scar down my chest

I know, it's not pessimistic - it's realistic
