I was misdiagnosed as having ADHD as a child
and now some doctors suggested dyspraxia though I haven't officially diagnosed
I have one child who is typical and one on the spectrum who also has another issue
both I adore :-) :wink: :wink:

So many questions
What is dyspraxia
Our children (have to give my wife credit) are an 11 year old son and a 15 year old daughter (who came first)
How old are yours if you feel comfortalbe sahring?

i have heard of dyspraxia through my interests but i did not know about how it is.

have you consider getting yourself professionally evaluated? i believe i have also been misdiagnosed, with autism, considering the shadiness of the person who evaluated me and, others who said it was impossible i was autistic. (whatever that means)

are some symptoms of dyspraxia, poor gross motor control? i admit i've been/am real clumsy but i work on it.

and well, i don't have any kids but welcome to the club!
