This isn't me, it's someone close I get impatient and exasperated with because they always seem clumsy and careless and socially a bit of a misfit (though they certainly don't feel any of those things) they're not going to get a diagnosis because they'd never think anything was unusual about them or be willing to consider it. I suppose it would just make it easier for me to be more patient if I could put a genuine reason for why they're like they are. Iv stumbled across dyspraxia and a lot sounds familiar but not all, so I copied and pasted the symptoms of a website and deleted all that I couldn't recognise in this person
With what's left - could they still have dyspraxia? Is it likely?
As I say there won't be any diagnosis, it would just help me be more forgiving I think
