Dyspraxia - are you clumsy? + vision problems

I've been chatting to an online friend about this and we were wondering if we have dyspraxia.

I know there is a link with autism.

When I was in the junior school a school report said: 'although not physically well co-ordinated Debra enjoys PE (physical education, sports)'.

Actually I loathed it and was hopeless and always picked last.

Very poor eyesight didn't help though so sometimes it's difficult to 'see the wood for the trees'.

My whole life I've fallen over, broken and dropped things and walked into anything really that's walkintoable.

What about you?

  • Yes but - if I play 3D Mahjong religiously every morning till I hit a certain score for reflexes, and I practice hopping and balancing on one then the other leg for balance  and it gets better. My senior exercise class instructor also helps us with that. I have Meniere's in the left ear. I am not clumsy in the hands, just slower than average (hence the Mahjong).

    I am legally blind on the right from un-diagnosed lazy eye. So will bump into anything on that side and must be especially careful when crossing streets.

    I didn't know this.

    I know that you are a mover and shaker (Blush) so you have made me feel better about my own sight loss.
