OK so DS is a little bit dyspraxic - AIBU to think he will grow out of it?

I can see that there are a few little problems eg his handwriting is a real struggle, but some of the other things on the list seem to me more like normal variations of a human being. I am glad we're getting help and support and all that, but I also feel a little bit irritated by what seems an awful lot of box-ticking and bean counting and insistence on absolute conformity...

I have dyspraxia very mildly, just makes me clumsy.. doesn't affect me at all, i just avoid sports that involve throwing/catching. Actually i avoid all exercise whatsoever, but that might be related to something completely different

i understand what you're saying OP - disorganisation, for example, is in the run of standard human behaviour, as is being opinionated, and not giving much of a toss about the neatness of your appearance...and yet these things may profile you as a label.

still Dbro is living it up in Japan as an IP agent with his Dyspraxia, whilst me with my manual dexterity and stuff get to chug three days a week in a call centre.

Labels aren't destiny.
