Can you be Dyspraxic but hit all childhood milestones?
I am a teenager and I have really bad problems with balance, throwing and catching, over sensitive to touch, smell and taste, obsessive behaviour, pretty bad fine motor skills, and a few more I could list. I know I am different from others my age and recently came across Dyspraxia.
However, when I was younger I could walk and talk as early as other children and didn't have any major problems with dressing myself (apart from buttons and laces sometimes) or writing, though I still cant use a knife and fork properly.
Could this be Dyspraxia or not?

Hi Briony - I have a teenager who has dyspraxia. I think your description of symptoms could well be dyspraxia. If you want to find out, my best suggestion is to see an occupational therapist.
