Very glad I've found this site. I've always been different and felt really bad about myself, as I'm getting older it's becoming more apparent & I'm sticking out like a sore thumb, which is getting me quite down.
I've just stated uni & am struggling big style, nearly dropped out a number of times. Have finally persuaded them to test me for dyslexia, apparently this'll show up dyspraxia as well. Apparently I was diagnosed with DCD as a 3 year old, but it was decided not to stignatise me in school, so help I got stopped.
I'm currently mixed emotions regarding dyspraxia, I've just been on a high level sports coaching course(I'm a good coach, I'm good at putting things in simple terms & knowing what / how people learn - not so good at the sport


I rather embarassingly got upset on the course, after the second day one of the other students quizzed me about my lack of eye contact with the leader of the course, she then informed me she was a disability awareness adviser at a uni & that I had aspergus. This was bad enough but it turned out that this had been discussed by a number of people who were meant to be observing the coach not me. I just wanted to fit in, so when it came to my coaching being observed, I'd already had a lengthy cry with one of the instructors, worried about my personality beig picked apart again. How to embarass myself in formt of 6 of the uks leading coaches in my sport

I'll be honest, I've been in floods of tears for weeks (I know a visit to the doc to up the pills

It's good to see people laughing at some of their problems rather than getting down about them and that people are able to get on with things
