How do I get diagnosed?
I'm 16 and have just left school to go to sixth form, I have passed all my GCSE's even got some A's but when I spoke with my teacher she raised the idea that I may have dyspraxia or dyslexia.
It just makes so much sense to me now, I understand why I never got on well in PE, I understand why I don't understand instructions when they're told to me. I've never had a big handwriting or speech problem, but I strongly show most of the other symptoms.
I have discussed this with my family and I want to know where I go from here, how do I find out if I have dyspraxia/dyslexia.
Many thanks,
Nancy
