I think I have dyspraxia. Please share your experiences with it.

I have it as well, I'm very clumsy, I think it may be connected to my speech difficulties, I had a moderate to severe fine motor delay and a mild gross motor delay.

I've never been well-coordinated or had strong gross motor / balance, but my stroke made the dyspraxia more pronounced. My fine motor is affected and I can barely use my left hand for anything but typing. My left and right side aren't equal and don't even perceive temperatures or sensations to the same degree.

I probably have it although I'm never been diagnosed with it. The docs in my area probably didn't know about dyspraxia when I was little. I took physical therapy when I was in skewl. Every so often I would get taken out of a class while I was in skewl & I'd see some special worker who would have me do things like walk, stand on one foot, reach in a box & pull out certain shapes, skip, throw a ball up in the air & try & catch it ect. I had stuff like that till I started high-skewl probably cuz my high-skewl didn't do it maybe cuz it was private. I also have bad fine motor-skills but I also have a tremor disorder that acts up when doing things with fine motor-skills. Being anxious, stressed, & tired can make it worse. The tremor disorder was NOT the reason I had the physical therapy thou, it doesn't really act up with those activities.
