Adults with dyspraxia
Hi, I'm a 55 year old woman with dyspraxia and I'm keen to make contact with other adults who have dyspraxia, to share our stories, offer mutual support and do whatever we can to raise awareness and make positive changes in attitudes towards dyspraxia. I'm becoming increasingly frustrated by the amount of information that is directed at 'parents' or 'teachers'. There is no cure for dyspraxia but there seems to be little recognition that those of us who are past our teens (well past in my case!) are still struggling.
