Dyspraxia. My learning disability

[somfoolishfoole]

I have dyspraxia. It sucks and I hate it
until less than a week ago I loved my dyspraxia because I pinned my outside the box intelligent thinking to it. Since I discovered that I was INTP and what this meant, I have realized that dyspraxia can go away please, I don't like it and don't want it. It makes your brain resist your attempts to express intelligence.

This is a babble topic really. Sorry my brain hasn't been very focused as of late.

If I am not paying attention I walk into things.

I was apparently clumsy as a child. Fell everywhere. But my main problem with motor skills is hypersomnia. I have fallen asleep everywhere. While driving(that almost killed me). Constantly at school. I have scars still from my forehead unluckily not hitting the desk, as usual, but the edge. Every afternoon on the sofa was/is in dreams.

Some people will grab my arm while walking, as they don't trust me to do something stupid. And often "WATCH YOURSELF!".

But still, I think I learned to do must anything, some things really well, eventually. Even dancing can be worked around. Like an Audry dance. Sex is another matter, that is awfully challenging, I prefer to just lay still, or at least not both moving at the same time. I think people tend to be weirded out by that each time, I'm equally surprised they call back and want to do it again(but I don't, if I did it the first time, it was because I was drunk). Last time, I did absolutely nothing. Maybe it worked out because the guy had been one year in an institution for schizophrenia. I was scared due to that, not really sure why he approached me and found me attractive. But seemed intelligent and kind, had a master in cybernetics or something. The last ting I remember was that he asked if he could do things to me while I slept. I said no, then I fell asleep. This guy have been sending messages for half a year now, the last one, last week, I didn't reply to. Don't quite trust him to not imagine things that isn't real, although he said he was cured. My point is that I think even complicated things like this can be worked around, if the tasks prove challenging. I will note a +1 more in my book of successful love affairs. One day I will acquire mastery.

I do believe everything can be learned. But except for myself, I have no proof to back that up. What techniques do you empower to overcome your challenges?

Got some of that crap too, poor motor skills, and poor spatial awareness, can't tell left from right (I can but when I have to do it spontaneously and instantly I still somehow get it wrong a lot), and ambidexterity. Also got ADD giving me all that memory crap.

Last time I went bowling it was noticeable, I couldn't decide which arm to throw the ball with, couldn't judge the distance properly etc. The worst thing is I figured out "how" to do it but then had to suffer through not being able to coordinate my movements to actually do it. If I focused on getting the swing right I would end up misjudging the distance and either overstepping or coming up short of where you're supposed to throw the ball.

Even so it sounds like childs play compared to what you guys are describing :/

What did I just watch? I don't even.


Sorry to hear about your issue. I'm sure it bring a shit ton of stress in your life.

Have you tried any experimental physical therapies? I know very little about dyspraxia.

Two of my ribs aren't fully attached to my spine. This causes a constant pain behind my left shoulder blade. I also get OCD style ticks when under stress. I would blink non-stop as a child. Other children constantly teased me for it. Some times I can't stop tapping my fingers together or doing breath patterns with my nose, until it's just right.

I have that same problem, however when I concentrate on my motor skills, actively not doubting my own movements I'm able to use them quite well. However I have one of the worst spatial awareness I've known, I can't walk though the hallways of my school without getting lost. Everything just looks the same there, there's too many doors.
