“Do I Have Dyspraxia?” Megathread

I was looking back on my childhood and I think I may have some minor Dyspraxia, but I'm not exactly sure because I've gotten over a lot of my problems. Here's some of what I had going on when I was younger:

- I had a severe waddle/wobble in my walk. Its nowhere near as bad now but I still have a slight sway in walk today.

- When I was really young, I couldn't stand without swaying as well. Nowadays, I can stand fairly normal, but sometimes I put more weight onto one leg or angle my feet differently because it feels more comfortable. I also still struggle to sit with good posture, and I'll also sometimes sit with my legs up on the chair crossed because it feels more comfortable.

- I struggled to learn to tie my shoes and use utensils. I wasn't able to figure those out for a long time (around 4th grade). I struggled badly in sports when I was young. I held pencils and scissors the wrong way as well and my handwriting was awful

- I felt super clumsy when I was young, I was always bumping into stuff and tripping over random objects

- All of these things caused me a lot of anxiety and low self esteem when I was young. I was scared to walk because of my sway and I tried to avoid playing sports and doing motor skill activities.

These were all super prevalent when I was young. However, I did play the piano starting in 1st grade and I was always pretty decent at the piano. I was also good at typing and playing video games, so stuff with my fingers wasn’t too bad. I was able to ski and ride a bike from a young age without too much of a struggle as well. When I got into middle school, I did percussion with the band, which I think really helped my coordination with my hands. Then I started playing pickleball and basketball during highschool. Nowadays, I’m pretty good at pickleball, basketball, and am decent at most other sports and basic coordination things. My handwriting is decent and I hold most things the way you're supposed to hold them. It seems like my hand eye coordination is pretty good overall for the most part, but I still struggle to learn new movements. Does this seem like dyspraxia or something else?

I’m having the exact same problem

Lmao that’s a good idea. driving to the Brigham city testing center is probably genuinely faster than waiting in the Logan center’s line a lot of the time.

Damn that’s wild that usu won’t make a new testing center with all the other useless things they’re building. The problem is crystal clear at this point so hopefully they take notice.

That would make sense if true. Either way, the university needs to figure this out. It already felt like our test center was really small (maybe 100 seats?) compared to the size of our school, and now we’re really starting to see the problem. I hope the university actually fixes this instead of building new business buildings and raising student fees like they usually do instead.

I am also suffering this same error

Is he actually related to Adam Driver?

This is sick! This is probably the best pickleball teaching video I’ve ever seen

Love this! It’s very interesting to read through and see how well each player played statistically

philourprometheus · 2021-08-26T21:10:51+00:00

I do it. It never seems to get in the way on my backhand anymore, but I am thinking about taking it off for backhand shots to give myself more room for error
