Is it possible to have Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, and Dyscalculia?
Hi all! Last week I went in to see a therapist about testing for Dyslexia. While he said I show some signs of Dyslexia he also thinks I have Dyspraxia. He told me to go home and do some research, so I did. It was then that I discovered Dyscalculia. So many of the symptoms fit!
In 2007 I was diagnosed with Aspergers Syndrome and in 2010 with ADD. I know that it isn't uncommon for certain LD's to go together (yes I know Aspergers isn't an LD), but is it possible to have so many? Is there maybe something else that has several signs of Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, and Dyscalculia? Then again, maybe I'm just cool that way:)
