i use a hat and look down, i find this helps sometimes, avoiding peoples eyes.
i try to blok out as mnuch sensory input as i can, peaked hat (you might like sunglasses too), ear plugs/muffs, breathing through your mouth instead of your nose, and trying to move to an area where touching is less likley.
i often find it easier if im not on my own too.
i do try to relax, i use meditative techniques that i learned with a master, but cakeordeath's method is good.
if it is affecting you noticably, or you are avoiding anything because of it, speak to your Dr, OT, or any other health professionl, there is help out there.
the way i see it, dyspraxia is an extra hurdle in every race i run, but that extra hurdle, is just extra exercise, so in the end, i will come through stronger.
