Dyspraxia ain’t autism but it’s a condition which makes people clumsy with coordination, brain, words and just in life but clever in their own way

Well, yeah, that's why it's important to get a proper assessment as there are lots of crossovers with other conditions.

Oddly enough I seem to recall dyslexia , dyspraxia and Dyscalcula all being lumped together with Aspergers and ADHD under the ASD umbrella .
That was over 20 years ago though ..

I found these little snippets anyway ..

1) speech apraxia – a relatively rare disorder – affects up to 65 percent of children with autism.

2) Although Dyspraxia may occur in isolation, it frequently coexists with other conditions such as Aspergers Syndrome, Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD), Dyslexia, language disorders and social, emotional and behavioural impairments.

I think that’s because dyspraxia, dyslexia , dyscalculia and Aspergers each have many overlapping traits .. all come under ASD .

I did the test .. waited .. nothing happened. Sorry

I seemed to select the top option for the vast majority of the questions and few were the very last option

I once hired someone affected by Asperger syndrome. And to be honest, he really made a stunning job with repetitive tasks linked to statistics, analysis and performance indicators for a projet I was in charge of.
I had no problem hiring him, he was a sweet guy with a lot of humor and I got along with him very well. So clever and really had strong logical mindset. I would totally work with people with this condition again.

Also, I've learnt a lot about this condition, what people go through and how it affects their daily lives. It really takes guts and bravery to try to make something good out of it, go through high school and college and go find jobs without being discriminated. I loved that he knew who he is and was unapologetic about it so I am super grateful to have learnt about that.
He was sometimes "disconnected" and we laughed about it. Not that I wish I was the same, but really he gave no f!cks about most of the things we worry about

A lot of the questions on the test are more like a test for introversion than a test for autism. They're not the same thing.

Indeed... in fact I feel sure there are a few of our fellow TIBB posters who tick an awful lot of boxes


I was born in the late 1950’s and I always knew I was different .. .. I just seemed to perceive things differently to everyone else .

I was lucky enough to attend a good school ,a grammar school yet I hated every single minute - it was a very difficult time for a loner like myself. It didn’t help that the teachers were strict and had high expectations .

Anyways, I often struggled with things others could do yet equally when the class were all having trouble I’d find that part relatively simple .

Turns out I was an extremely ‘visual’ learner .

It was a great relief in my 30’s to learn about autism and Asperger’s syndrome and suddenly have a reason to explain all my seemingly odd traits .

Lucky for most kids these days with conditions like these they have parents who now understand what it actually is.

The little ****, is no more..

I find interesting as i have done a few of these online indicator test it mentions haircuts. All through my working career i have always commented on a person who has had their hair cut and for them to laugh and say omg you are the only person who noticed?

It is one of the ‘traits’ ... interestingly noticing the small details in life of also an indication of intelligence ... which is reassuring ...

It may explain why I was such a brilliant sniper whilst playing Call of Duty2 multiplayer online
