Walking sticks (and other mobility aids) for dyspraxia/DCD (or similar conditions). Anyone?

Namechanger (Naice ham, cube of poo). I initially posted this on the neurodivergency board, but its quiet there atm.

Does anyone use a walking stick or other mobility aid for these or similar conditions? At what point did you decide you needed one? How limited was your mobility, balance etc?

I am trying to decide whether I need one or whether I'm instead overreacting or being silly.

I think you'd be wise to go to your GP and speak about your concerns. He will make a referral to a Physiotherapist if he thinks it's appropriate. The Physio will be able to assess you and make suggestions about what is best to do.
