Dyspraxia can manifest differently in individuals, and not everyone with dyspraxia will have all of these symptoms. But those with dyspraxia will likely be able to relate to a majority of the symptoms (the first 14 questions).

Not officially diagnosed. But it was YES YES YES all down the line. I have been diagnosed with Ocular Motor Apraxia as a child. But I always had balance and coordination problems and I was raised thinking it was my fault. My athletic farm boy dad was basically ashamed of me. I've been looking into Autism specifically, because I can get into emotional meltdowns on certain ) occasions. Been a cause of lifelong depression for me.

I'm literally laying in bed, crying my eyes out watching this! For years I've thought I'm stupid but this makes so much sense 😭😭😭

10/14. I always always spill drinks and brake glasses. I bump into things all the time, and I find it kind stressing to walk alongside other people sometimes because I keep bumping on them. My ex-gf often commented how I had absolutely no rythm at all when dancing or singing. I stain my clothes all the time. But the thing that got me the most is that I always hated doing things like washing dishes, cooking, folding laundry, sweeping and cleaning when I'm with others because I feel slow and clumsy in comparison to everyone. I have ADHD, and I suspect I'm in the austism spectrum as well. The executive dysfunction affects my life a whole lot more than the above, but I find it interesting how a lot of the symptoms I have overlap between ADHD, Autism, Dyspraxia and Sensory Processing Disorder, in that order. I have a neurophsychological evaluation due in October, so I'll finally have some clearer answers. Anyways, thanks for the informative video!

13 out of 14 - Thank you for this video. It makes me feel a bit more confidence to try and fight for a diagnosis again. I'm not severe enough for it to be a living hell, but more like a life of constant low level frustration. It's very exhausting trying to keep up with life at the pace of everyone else, and I think that the strain contributes to my chronic fatigue and regular pain. I tried to get a diagnosis a few years ago, and one doctor told me that dyspraxia doesn't exist, while the other told me that he was clumsy as a child too, so maybe I'm just clumsy. They refused to refer me so I could pursue a diagnosis. The second got me to draw a star on a page and put my jacket on from inside out, and since I could do those things announced that I therefore do not have dyspraxia. I'm sick of the gaslighting that happens when you suffer from anything that is under educated in the medical field.

Yes, to 11 out of 14. Yes to the 4 required questions. I am not officially diagnosed with Dyspraxia but I had issues with movement and coordination since I was very young. My mom says I skipped crawling as a baby and went straight to walking, I tried to crawl but just couldn't get the hang of it. I was 5 when I finally figured out how to pump my legs on a swing. I was 8 with learning how to ride a two wheel bike. Figuring out Snapping my fingers, I was 10. I was not good at team sports and I bumped into things all the time. I was good a swim team but not fast enough to compete really well. I was 19 when I finally felt comfortable to drive and get my license. I had my learners permit for three years before then. I just thought I was really clumsy and uncoordinated. I didn't know there was a name for it! 😮 But it makes so much sense. To this day my husband says I have butter fingers because I drop things a lot and I feel like I still can't control my body movements like I should. I am a 41 yr old woman.

14/14, I’ve been officially diagnosed since elementary school. I’ll always be grateful for having attentive parents who didn’t brush it off as me being clumsy, school without an IEP and understanding teachers would have been hell! I’m sorry to all of you who had to go through that!

I was diagnosed at 24 with dyspraxia, dyslexia and ADHD during my time at university. Thank you for helping people understand themselves, if my diagnosis was earlier I wouldn’t have felt stupid, lazy and for so many years, I now laugh at my eccentricity but it’s so hard to when you are young and don’t know why you are the way you are. Hopefully this helps many young people who need it seek support!

Not diagnosed but a friend of my wife is a certified psychologist and she brought up that she thinks I have dyspraxia back when I was looking into autism. Have wondered what was wrong with me all my life. Organizational skills are my biggest obstacle in life. I speak in a monotone voice and little to zero facial expressions just to name a few. I'm 44yo now. Many of my issues are incredibly frustrating. I can't organize a bedroom but I sure can go into great detail on things that interest me to near expert level in a short amount of time. I can plan trips by car or my 18-wheeler down to the minute but still can't organize my house. I can find patterns to incredible accuracy in nearly everything that usually isn't well noticed by other but still can't even organize my kitchen. I'm like a genius at certain things but feel like an idiot at some simple life skills.

I answered yes to all the questions. However I also had a diagnosis of hydrocephalus, Dysgraphia and other labels (I have so many) , Sensory processing disorder etc. long ago , back in the late 70s and early 80s, assorted doctors debated Dyspraxia since I have more then two alternative diagnosis there was no way to make the Dyspraxia diagnosis stick. I really appreciate your videos since they can be shown to other adults since I am dating again and that helps explain why there are a bunch of things I am never seen to be doing. Keep up the awesome work!!!!

I answered yes to 9 of the questions, only one was in the required criteria. I do not have dyspraxia, I am diagnosed with Autism and have sensory processing disorder, anxiety, PTSD, as well as on and off depression. I am considered disabled by the government.

I answered yes to all the questions. I was diagnosed with Dyslexia, Dyscalculia, Dysgraphia and Dyspraxia from a young age(suspected at 5, diagnosed at 7-8), and I can remember the therapy for me at the time being very stressful due to feeling like I was under a lot of pressure to just... be better? I'm 23 now and it's been a unique experience learning so much about myself with what you can find online about these disabilities. Originally they were all sort of lumped together with dyslexia. "They have dyslexia and 3 other similar disabilities" type thing. I only recently had the time to check and see what they were. Having any of these doesn't make you any less of a personal. You, are a unique individual with their own unique way of getting through life. Pat yourself on the back, you are doing awesome no matter what

I just wanna say thank you for what you're doing. I've learned a lot watching and listening to your videos and now I really want to go to a doctor and check if I have some of the diagnoses you're talking about.

Interesting test, thanx for posting this! I discovered that I have dyspraxia by accident at age 73. It is clear that in my case it is not a life-threatening condition... I score positive on all the questions of your test except the one on shaving. But I have had a beard for most of my life... I went to school late, at age 7 and dyspraxia manifested itself right away during physical exercise and writing (praise the lord for the invention of the keyboard...). After I learnt how to ride a bike in Nijmegen we moved to The Hague and I had to relearn the skill. During my life I became a volunteer fireman, but I never moved up from base rank because of a series of inexplicable 'accidents'. There is not much that can be done about the dyspraxia at my present age. But in sports school or in my volunteer work in the neighbourhood restaurant and in nature conservation I can deal with it in various ways, for instance by going fairly slow most of the time. Thanx for providing this extra clarity!

When you said spilling good and drinks on my clothes, that's when knew for sure, I have way too many of these symptoms... it didn't surprise me having this as well. I'm clinically diagnosed with being on the ADHD spectrum, and with OCD, and I'm self diagnosed being on the spectrum of ASD - no doubt, I have at least one form of dyslexia, Missophonia, - let's just say I'm a NEURODIVERGENT. I'm good at some things, however what I'm not good at, I'm really, really bad at!!! I don't tell anyone, this is just for me, what to expect, and so I know to be kinder to myself 🌷

Thanks for the video!

Your very good at getting to the point. People like us just need to have your way of testing our metal health. Yes I have a few of your videos

I have accommodative dysfunction and laziness in my right eye that neither opthalmologists nor optometrists have been able to explain. It has meant that on more than one occasion I have suffered severe eye strain that dramatically affects my vision and exacerbates chronic headaches and causes migraines. I am currently on a waiting list for ASD assessment, but I'm almost completely convinced that I am autistic. I'm exploring dyspraxia due to coordination issues (as well as a family history) as this is not only a comorbidity of autism, but I have also read that eye problems such as mine can occur with dyspraxia. I scored 10/14 on your test, which surprised me, but I think I will have to explore this further. Thanks for uploading.

Yes and participated in a collage study back in the 1980’s. I find repetitive action is a solution to the learning issue but is also a constant struggle for new task. Again, repetitive action imprints the brains results.

Yes to all of these, no official diagnosis. But discovering this has made a HUGE difference in how I view myself. I've carried unknown amounts of shame over this - now I can let this go

I answered yes to all of these (though the fifth question is something that doesn't happen to me consistently). I have ADHD as well, and my handwriting was completely illegible when I was a young child. Today, if I have to write quickly, it's still really messy.

Good job brother 👏❤

I don't know if this will help anyone but here's something that helped me: As a young adult I was sending time in the country helping out on a farm. I spent a lot of time doing simple, repetitive work like stacking firewood then progressing to learning how to split the wood properly, etc. Eventually I began to notice my general coordination was becoming much, much better. For example: I found could actually throw and hit a baseball! Something I sucked at until then. Anyway, this is totally subjective and unscientific, but It seemed to have helped me greatly.

I said yes to all of them. I'm almost 50 and my father still calls me clumsy and shames me for being a klutz. I have made disparaging jokes at my expense about how I'm still learning how to walk because I run into things and fall down so much. I have never been able to play video games that require a lot of hand eye coordination. I have been trying to explain to my father that I'm not just a klutz and his jokes really hurt my feelings, he thinks I'm being horrible if I say anything or ask him to stop it. He's a Boomer and the type that if things make him too uncomfortable he will ignore it, repress it, deny it, or get angry. Thank you for making this video

I have official diagnoses of dyslexia and dyspraxia. The more I learn about ADHD, the more it seems I have elements of inattentive subtype but both dyspraxia and dyslexia are also associated with those symptoms, even in people without a comorbid diagnosis. My parents (GPs and my Dad is definitely dyspraxic and dyslexic too though never formally diagnosed) noticed symptoms pretty early on. I think I was formally assessed the first time as a young child, maybe before or at primary school age. Rough guide to extent of difficulties, on my assessment leaving school my handwriting speed was very slow (50% or less what it should be), my performance on the spatial component of an IQ test was 80 (overall score 110 there were 4 components I think two verbal, non-verbal and spatial), my reading speed was pretty slow (cannot remember the figures but it was surprising) etc. 12 out of 14. Nos 10 and 11. To clarify a little on these, with 10 (trouble shaving etc) I have always used an electric shaver and am clean-shaven. I suspect using a manual shaving method would turn this into a yes due to nicks. I do have to be careful to double check my shaving and often have to finish off an area I missed. This compensatory behavior might qualify to make it a yes. With 11 (trouble performing multiple activities at once), it's complicated and depends on my mental state and level of engagement with the tasks. So if I am walking and talking to someone who I really like or the conversation itself is really interesting, then the odds of me walking into something, walking into traffic or tripping increase. A normal intensity conversation, not really. If I am tired or emotional (any kind of emotion), then all dyspraxic symptoms get worse including trying to do tasks simultaneously. I have occasionally had people think I am drunk or high when I am actually just quite tired. If you broaden the scope out to what we call 'multitasking', which includes flicking between different sequential tasks rapidly and perhaps unpredicably, then yes I have difficulty with that. So working in an office, I might forget to finish off a task (add a note to a computer system or file a piece of paperwork appropriately) if I was interrupted by a phone call or a colleague asking for help etc. The duration of the interruption does not matter. This is most likely to happen with finishing a task of any size or at the start of a smaller task. On the other hand, I can attend to lots of tasks at once if I really need to, say meeting an academic deadline. In that situation, I can enter a flow state or something like ADHD type hyperfocus. Suddenly I'll be reading multiple sources, reading and typing/writing at the same time, my attention will not wander and I will not procrastinate. I will maintain this focus for hours until the task is done, at the expense of bodily needs like eating, sleeping, drinking or the loo (the latter two are more pressing so I will briefly interrupt for them on say the second time they appear if that makes sense). Unfortunately, doing this normally requires a lot of pressure/stress. Occasionally I will just do it out of the blue and end up writing a random essay/story on something or completely finishing a book cover to cover in one go etc.

At least 9/14 and definitely yes to 3/4 not optional questions. I am unsure on the last one as I suspect I might have SPD. Never been diagnosed or assessed at all. I would think it very likely I am. The last time I self tested for SPD it indicated it was highly likely for me. As a side note I also have two kids who are dyslexic, dysgraphic, and have dyspraxia. My husband is what we call a stealth dyslexic. He flies under the radar but exhibits the signs. So our kids were definitely getting the genes. Lol

I answered "yes" to 12/14 and to the 4 end questions. Crazy enough, I don't remember thinking driving was hard, or that it took me longer than average to learn. My guy friends in highschool taught me how to drive, including stick. Though I always stressed driving manual on a hill, sometimes I'd roll back. Motivation may have played a huge part in learning how to drive because I've always loved cars, and I knew I needed to be able to transport myself in order to leave home. I didn't realize dyspraxia was in the DSM. Now I have to find out where to go to get evaluated here in the states.

14 out of 14. I’ve been disagnosed as a early teenager. Thank you forbear you’re doing.

I have issues with left and right, I tend to mirror then invert. An example line dancing, they move on left, I move on the right instinctive level. I also read backwards and forwards.

I am dyslexic and can relate extremely well to all of the first set of examples. I am well known for being clumsy and having poor coordination when moving about. However strangly when I am settled, calm and focused, I can work very very well on small detailed work, probably better than a lot of people. Because of this, I probably don't have dyspaxia. I will check out the sensory processing disorder though as I have other traits that may fall under this such as not hearing well but ok hearing tests.

i got only one NO. I haven't had any official diagnosis yet but it is adversely affecting my life and self esteem.

I just stumpled across your video and got 9/14, with the one mandatory question I am missing is the fact that I allready have another diagnosis to explain my symptoms.

12/14. I'm autistic and ADHD (recently diagnosed in my 40s), I have always been clumsy, my handwriting is illigible, I injure myself most days! Always spilling, dropping things. I couldn't master a manual car despite having over 30 hours of lessons, it just eluded me, I drive an automatic now, but I do struggle with too many things at once, I need it to be streamlined and straightforward. I think I might go to the GPs now and see if I can make this official :) thank you so much for this.

I got officially diagnosed at nine (and I'm female, so it's even rarer to get an early diagnosis) and I answered yes to every single question, I'm 25 and I can't drive, which isn't super uncommon in England, but I tried to learn manual and it was so difficult.

13/14, the only one I didn’t say yes to was learning to drive takes longer because I can’t drive at the moment and have not taken tests to learn. I also scored 4/4 on the mandatory questions. I got diagnosed when I was 13 because my mum saw something about dyspraxia on Facebook and decided to do more research because it sounded like me. It’s really interesting to learn about what the DSM-5 says about dyspraxia because this was never explained to me, I assume because I was only 13. I just remember being asked some questions and having to do a bunch of tasks that require coordination. The only reason I didn’t score in the severe symptoms of dyspraxia category of my test was because of my handwriting and the only reason my handwriting is decent is because I’m a bit of a perfectionist so my handwriting being messy stresses me out

11 or 12 out of the 14, 3 of the mandatory ones , #3 being a question mark. I hated PE, it was torture. As a result of not being able to play ball sports, I never got into sports, and never watch games. Oddly, I was good at gymnastics in jr. high, but we just had it for a few weeks in PE, there was no team to join. Also in Jr. and senior high I did some distance cycling, but that was not considered a legitimate sport. I didn't think of myself as athletic, despite my muscular thighs, because only baseball, football, and basketball counted. My dad had somehow found a karate class for me in grade school, decades before kid's karate was common, because he saw that I had problems with coordination. It was a good call, but then he died, the sensei died a short time later, so that was that. In my 30's I discovered Aikido, and it slowly changed the way I move and live in my body. I trained for over 20 years, but became disillusioned with its questionable promises of effectiveness for self-defense and conflict resolution. Even though I don't train these days, I still find that I move better and fall less than others my age at 60+.

Answered yes to every single question. Diagnosed with Autism with dyspraxia as a feature / result of that.

10 out of 14 definite yes...2 possibly one no. 3 out of the 4 extra questions.

I was diagnosed as an adult with ADHD and dyscalculia. I also am clumsy and have a hard time writing. Anything that takes coordination is a nightmare. I answered almost every question as a yes. I'm in my 50s, but I'd like to investigate exactly what's going on.

5or6 yes for my adult son and 2 of the criteria. Hard to say as an adult if it effects his every day life. As a child it did because of peers.

6 of the 14 yes, 4 of the 4 non-optional yes. Not officially diagnosed. My fine motor skills are ok but my gross motor skills have always been well below those of my peer group.

High Functioning Mathematically Disordered ADHD Autistic here, and ever since I found Dyspraxia occurs in Premature babies more often than not I am CONVINCED I have it, yet not one person in the States I can find has even HEARD of it. So much for the Scientific Method and information/result sharing. 🤬🤷

I have just recently been diagnosed with Adhd and dyspraxia. The assessment was for Adhd but when he said "and dyspraxia" it was a bit of a shock. Obviously being Adhd, I went into full research mode to find out everything I could about it. I would read or hear some of the symptoms and think, but that's not me. But then the other symptoms would be dead right. Always a slow writer, slow thinker, slow responder and have to walk down google maps to figure out where I have to go. And I remember it by landmarks like - turn at the red lion pub, then left after the second set of traffic lights before the post box where that brown bench that is set back is. I'm a loud talker but don't realise I'm doing it until my children say "mum you're shouting again". And a strange one is that everyone in my family talks properly except me, I talk really common and nobody can understand why. Not sure if that could be a symptom, but it is weird. Driving also! I can't drive to new places with out memorising the journey (If its within my area but out of my learnt area) and if its far then I use sat nav but have to have my son with me. He listens and tells me what the sat nav says while I focus on the road and other drivers, because I struggle focusing on two things at the same time. He knows the right time to say "take the next exit" where as the sat nav says it when I'm focusing on that white car that is switching lanes.

10 of 14, with a diagnosis but thats the doing sports and driving specific ones really then yes to everything else, also did excercise therapy as a kid to help!

I got everything except Criteria 1 and 4. I had a botched brain shunt surgery to help with hydrocephalus. The problem fixed itself when I was a teenager, but nothing helped with explaining my lack of coordination. I got an unofficial diagnosis after I was kicked out of a kitchen paper when I was studying hospitality diploma because I don't even have the strength to cut carrots even when it was halfway through the term, then it took me 3 days to make gnocchi from scratch. That was when I knew the teacher was right to pull me from the course. I had perfect attendance and aced theory part of the course otherwise.

I was officially diagnosed. I got 13/13, not answering the driving one because I haven't attempted it yet. Also with regards to the developmental question, I wasn't told that I was slower with walking or crawling per say but I did apparently take longer to be toilet trained, as well as reading and learning to pronounce words and sounds correctly. I also took longer than my peers at learning to join up letters correctly when writing and had to receive special help to do it, so you may want to discount the point from the developmental question or keep it there.

11 yes answers, learning to drive was really easy, avoid ball sports that require throwing or catching, voice /language forget simple words and can keep on talking past what I should say. Found coping techniques for the kitchen (avoid peeling vegetables, I tend to take my skin off my fingers and thumbs). I have never been diagnosed or tested. I have been reading up on dyspraxia as my daughter has been diagnosed.

Just remember that such a diagnosis then has to surFace on an INDIVIDUAL basis. For instance, I was not diagnosed until my 50s, but have always had naturally good balance, coordination & what has been described as an unusually ‘good eye’ related to balancing things … Furthermore, having a ‘toxic’ upbringing, which includes, say, boarding school, can result in a core synapses development which reinforced self-help and ‘survival instincts AND talents…

I'm 51 and not diagnosed. Got 10 out of 14. My only issue is that I can't talk honestly to my mim about any coordination issues as she would take that as a suggestion she was a bad parent.

I was misdiagnosed with dyspraxia as a child instead of ADHD, due to postural sway alone. If coordination is the predominant issue dyspraxia makes sense. But if you struggle with time management, organisation, postural sway, inability to copy from board to paper etc you might have ADHD, there is a tonne of intersection but with completely different causes. It's also important to add that I was never given basic tests i.e seeing if I could catch a ball tie my shoes assemble a puzzle walk in a straight line etc, you're entitled to full tests so make sure you're diagnosed with the right thing !

Thank you Arije , I could relate to 11 out of 14 of the first questions . I am waiting to see a specialist .

Yes I tick most of those boxes and have been officially diagnosed

12 /14 and I apply to the four at the end. I have autism and adhd, I don’t know if I have dyspraxia or not but I’ve been researching to try and help myself figure it out. I like to do research to see how likely I have something before going out to get tested.

I'm not sure whether or not I have dyspraxia bc I'm autistic and that can also affect motor skills but a lot of these resonated with me (I'm also constantly dropping my phone, and I have poor balance skills and an unusual gait). I do have diagnosed dysgraphia though... which is tough bc I'm an artist. I was in Tae Kwon Do for seven years and I definitely struggled with the kinesthetics of it but I think it helped my motor control a lot.

I got 9/14, do you think this is enough to consider getting a diagnosis? I've been diagnosed with autism, but I have relatively few sensory processing issues. Anything doing with athleticism has always been a struggle and gym class made me feel lots of embarrassment, I also had a lot of problems with hands-on / craft activities in school. I'm decent at some tasks that require finer motion control however, like drawing and typing.

With some good will I could answer yes to 2 or 3, needles to say no diagnosis. But I found it very interesting, thanks

i had an official diagnosis of dyspraxia when I was a kid and forgot about it since it never really affected me too much in day to day life(or so I thought) but fast forward 15 years and learning to drive is proving very difficult for me

12/14. The first question I was unsure of because my parents never talked about my development as a toddler. I’m not officially diagnosed, but it sounds like I do fit the four non-optional criteria. I’m often embarrassed by the fact that I’m in my mid 20’s and I still haven’t got my drivers’ license, because it’s really hard to learn all the movements and I’m too scared to continue trying. I just really don’t want to get into an accident.

I am autistic and have dyspraxia. I answered yes to most of the questions. I know every day I am going to bump into something, break something, spill something and possibly get hurt. I just try to laugh and say it's my one for tha day. I know there will be many others, but I try to laugh at it. Getting ready for work took me 2 hours every day. I bought very sturdy and heavy furnature, because otherwise I will break it. I also try to wear my shoes all the time in the house; even though I like being barefoot better; because I've broken toes and catching a little toe on something because you got too close to something is awful. I'm always bruised, scratched, or sore. I have to use a lot more caution and planning, just to walk through a room without problems.

Diagnosed very young and answers 10/14

Growing up in the sixties and seventies the Dyspraxia Diagnose was nonexistent. I had Hypoxemia (lack of oxygen to the brain) due to a terrifying birth where both me and my mother almost past away. I answered ‘yes’ to all the questions about Dyspraxia. Is right to say that I could have a diagnose of Dyspraxia due to Hypoxemia that occurred when I was born ?

How many of you guy’s - have missing words when you type / write anything ? It doesn’t seem to matter how slowly I focus on typing … 🤦🏻‍♀️ . I’ll check several times before I post something 🤷 it looks ok . I post the damed thing - then read it 🤯🤦🏻‍♀️. WORDS I said in my mind as I was typing it - WHTF Are not there .

I love this guy in what he has to say

"Did it took longer for you to learn to drive?" Me, who failed the exam after 70 hours of driving lessons when the average where I live is about 30: * sweats nervously * I have 9/14, so I may not be just a clumsy guy...

I think I may have dyspraxia but as a teenager I got interested in skateboarding, I was crap at it but I loved it so much I kept at it and got quite good but lots of the other kids were learning tricks a lot faster than I was. I got such a buzz out of doing tricks and learning new ones that it didnt matter. I was happy going fast and scaring old people

I may never have a diagnosis for or against this. I am currently a quadriplegic with some use of my hands and arms, so this test is impossible for me to do right now. My memory of how things were before I was injured fits very well with it except for one thing. Even though I'm clumsy as heck and things tend to jump out at me (I run into door frames, etc, and even do now with my power chair) I had one thing that I was very good at which is quite contrary to all other indicators, and that's that I used to (before getting hit by a drunk driver). I was a top drawer violinist. I played Carnegie hall when I was 7 years old, and it was just easy from there on out. There was no doubt what I would be doing with my life. There were other things that I wanted to do, but I was just too much of a klutz. I absolutely could not drive a car because I was always misjudging things and running into stuff that were standing still in car parks. My dad tried and tried and tried to teach me to drive, but it was like I couldn't tell where I was in space. With my music, all the special problems dissolved, and everything just fell into place. It's kind of hard to describe because it was just two different words. Drunk drivers are the great equalizers. They jump the curb and hit you while you're walking around, minding your own business, bumping into bike racks and trash cans. After they hit you and send you airborne, and after you come down so hard you don't remember it, or anything within months of that time, You wake up and realize you can't bump into anything anymore, because you can't move. After months of rehab, if your lucky, you get something back which vaguely resembles intentional movement. You take that little bit, and learn to drive a power wheel chair, at which point you realize that you are still quite capable of running into stuff, no matter how carefully you take it. Can you be both dyslexic and have dyspraxia? I scored stupid high on both tests. I don't know what's wrong with me, other than I suffered a spinal cord injury. One thing is for sure. I'm pretty broken and my chances of a successful life...well, I try. But I don't succeed even when I give it my all.

I meet all of these. I had a IED in K-12. They mainly focused on reading because I am likely or probable dyslexic. Left handed and missed many developmental milestones. Still struggle do many things in comparison to my peers. In my 30s and choose not to drive because I lack coordination and have a hard time judging distances and speeds accurately.

Ik voer de verkeerde motoriek/postuur/houding uit op het verkeerde moment of wat overgestimuleerd is, wat is dat? Is daar een naam voor en naar welke behandelaar moet je daarvoor? Mijn huisarts begrijpt me niet en het is een te ingewikkelde kluif waardoor ik het antwoord krijg: "misschien moet je accepteren hoe je gevormd bent". Dat is dus onmogelijk en ik wil haar wat aandoen. Waar moet ik naartoe en wat is de naam van het beestje? Toestand kritiek.

Basically, yes to everything. I really related to the trouble with tying shores, zippers, and all that, and stains on clothing. I have a saying that I say to friends, "I basically trip on air!" Never got my driver's license, because of so many coordination problems among other things. My father said to me that I would in time feel where the car was in space, it would become one with me, and my reply was that I didn't even know where my own body was in space, so that didn't help. Holding pens is especially hard, unless they have rubber grips, I can't use those shiny expensive pens, they slide right through my fingers. Chopping things with knives is a no-go for me, as I cut myself all the time. I do have sensory processing issues, add, and am autistic, so.... add dyspraxia to the list? Thank you for your video.

i've been questioning if im autistic for a good few months and learning about dyspraxia kinda just happened along the way. I relate to a lot of it, but I don't remember anything of my childhood due to a lot of trauma and i don't have anyone i can ask about it so i'm not sure if I experienced any difficulty or developed slower as a child. I somewhat remember really struggling with trying to ride a bike and never fully getting a grasp on it. I never took my stabilisers off. I always say that I don't wear makeup because I can't angle my hands the way I need them to and they also shake a lot so i'd end up poking my eye out. When I walk, I struggle walking in a straight line and often veer off into hedges or other people i'm walking with. In school, I really struggled with sports, even running. I felt so clumsy and felt like everyone around me knew some secret running technique i didn't know. People would complain a lot that I wasn't trying hard enough in sports even when I was giving my all. I was just so bad at everything and felt so off balance in my own body. My whole life i've been searching for ways to explain why I feel different, why I struggle with things most people around me don't. I thought I was just really really bad at life or not trying hard enough. I've been putting together my notes for an autism evaluation and I might bring up dyspraxia as a possibility.

I'm 33. I've always been so clumsy, always take apart from sports because I couldn't perform well enough, spent too much money in my dirving lessons because I couldn't get to learn how to drive (and my car chasis is in a really bad codition thanks to several small crashes...), I learnt how to tie my shoelace when I was like 10, and because I practiced a lot on my own as I was ashamed... I get lost in my own village. Eventhought, I see I get a lot better when I practice a lot, and I have been able to improve many coordination stuff (for example, I learnt how to ski four years ago, going every week, as I live in the mountains, and now I think I can skii good enough. The thing is knowing if my difficulties are just normal, or I may have dyspraxia.... Hard to know, even in Psycolgical consultation...

10 out of 14. I couldn't answer the first driving question because I don't have my driving license yet, so it's hard to tell how hard it would be to concentrate on it when it's noisy around me. The second driving question was very easy to answer: I've been trying to get my driving license for 15 years now, intermittently, and I'm very scared of driving which makes it that much harder. I haven't been diagnosed.

8/14 confirmed. Checking with my parents on developmental delays now. I know that I wanted to crawl as a baby and I was determined as anything, but I don't know how long it took me. I do know that my mom used to be so confused when I walked into doorframes as a kid. I still bump doorframes with my shoulder on the regular and I gave up driving years ago when I didn't have the hang of it after 4 years with a learners driving 2+ times a week on the regular. I almost got into several wrecks because I misjudged a space and tried to merge at the wrong time. It's so frustrating and I hate not being able to travel independently without spending a small fortune on Uber.

I either send to do all the wrong test and misdiagnosed but... I have almost all the symptoms you mentioned. All my life I have terrible difficulty with knots and ties any wire or rope would frustrates me to no end when it tangled or tied up, and yes, I have very hard time tying up shoes as a kid it wasn't until I was in High School that I can do one basic shoe tying pattern same thing with riding a bicycle. My dad was frustrated with me not playing much piano that he bought one for me because he didn't know how insanely difficult it is to learn piano when I have a hard time separate different task between two hands and fingers, and I can't multitask or really terrible with the other hand without consciously stopping the other hand or it would emulating the same motions imagine trying to overcome that while also learning to play chords in the left and plays notes on the right it was hell having curved fingers at birth also didn't help one bit. This kind of answers why I prefer to do some things one handed even though I knew full well two hands are better for most tasks, but I felt like my non dominant hand is going to overcomplicate things even more as it being suspiciously dyspraxia like being surprisingly clumsier with two hands than one for example.

Yes to all and i am not officially diagnosed. I am 51.

If you say yes to majority of 14 questions but it's not persistent and happens only occasionally once ever few years, what do you call it? It happens usually after flu. All of yes answers appear together and then go away together after a few weeks or months? Took long in learning driving. Bumping into things is persistent. Handling two tasks ttogether is also persistent (but not driving & talking, I love driving and talking). Q 9 is very much menifested during those times. What is it?

I was diagnosed with dyspraxia about 30 years ago as a small child. It’s only recently that I discovered I also have ADHD, which explains so much more of my problems. I think if you are neurodivergent in one way, you should also check into the other forms of neurodivergency as well. There was an amazing number of comorbidities.

Some were "I don't know," either because I would need to remember back over 70 years or ask my parents. They left a while ago. Eyesight, I long thought explained my clumsiness, but it doesn't explain all of it. I certainly spill tea when pouring it, and I seem to have a knack for getting food on my clothing. Or floor.. I learned to drive on a diesel Fordson Major in the 50s when I was big enough to reach the pedals. I did manage to get it stuck on rocks and things.... I was driving the Holden Ute around the farm years before I was eligible for a licence to drive. I don't remember problems learning to drive that, but perhaps that was due to prior experience on the tractor.

Interesting. Thanks :)

Yes to basically everything except the laundry question (I do it very neatly, but probably also more slowly than average). Also, I have very nice handwriting but only because I got poor marks for penmanship in primary school and made it my mission to improve it. I'm also an artist, so my fine motor skills with a pencil/pen are better than any of my other motor skills by miles. I'm still slow at writing, though!

1-? (no idea) 2-N 3-Y (buttons are the most annoying thing invented, and i didn't learn how to tie my shoes until i was halfway through high school.) 4-N (but i do hold my pencil incorrectly and it's very difficult to write for a prolonged period of time.) 5-N 6-N 7-Y 8-Y 9-Y 10-Y (i cut my own hair with clippers, and i always feel like i can't quite get it exactly how i want) 11-Y 12-Y (i haven't!) 13-Y (yeah it happens frequently enough to be annoying) 14-Y 1-Y 2-? 3-Y 4-N (i'm autistic, which i think overlaps a bit with this, and i believe all of the above that i answered yes to are more because of that than because of dyspraxia. i'm going around taking these quizzes because they're just really interesting, though!)

I was diagnosed with ADHD two years ago and I'm 27 now. I am so clumsy, injured all the time as I'm hypermobile too but broke my nose this year trying to play cricket. I always used to get hit in the head with a basketball at school when not looking and just super clumsy walking into things, dropping things trying to hold to much trying to open the house or shopping and I would drop things. The other day I sat on a candle and reed diffuser that was on the chair because I didn't even look first and misjudging where I am happens alot. I got 11/14 yes but two were maybe I wasn't sure, All present childhood through to adulthood. I also hold my pen too tight and get writers cramp and hated handwriting at school, I use my cutlery wrong way around but it still feels right to me so wondering if there's other stuff happening

Hi! i scored very high but i wanted to know if Dyspraxia could be mistaken with my diagnosis with autism (just got diagnosed) but those criteria on the DSM are to much more than what autism can scope (sorry if any of this is hard to understand, English is not my first language)

14/14 plus the extra 4. No Dyspraxia diagnosis yet. I have an official Autism diagnosis and I’m pretty sure I’m ADHD too.

11/14, never attempted to drive. I have an unformal diagnosis from a mental health professional telling me that i probably have dyspraxia, but that it wouldn't be useful to get diagnosed since I'm an adult.

I’ve delayed getting my drivers license for YEARS cause it is such a daunting task, and I am HORRIFIED of putting myself and others in danger by being clumsy.

I have always been this way. I sent this to my son (he's 22) This fits him also

Yes to all

I don't have an official diagnosis but I had 9 times Yes and 5 times No, if I did not miscount. However, as a child I also had dyslexia which got better in puberty, perhaps because I developed epilepy and got medicine for that. What I basically want to say: I might not have dyspraxia but some brain pathology in general. My family in general is "blessed" with brain disorders (dementia, schizophrenia, epilepsy) so I am not suprised at all that I might score a little higher on any neurologic pathology scale.

Can't i just be occassionally clumsy? Always hitting my elbows, head, knees and always twisting my ankles growing up, falling off my bike many many times, broke my arm on my first go on a set of roller skates, broke my friends skateboard on my first go, always spilling things yet i have had no problems with writing, reading, throwing and catching balls and also had a great driving prowess although i have very poor eyesight with my friends and family calling me clumsy many many times, oh, and i avoid glass like the plauge (i could have a little dyslexia in there too), could i just be clumsy?

I said yes to 8/14 questions. I don't actually know if I have an official diagnosis of dispraxia. I am not consciously aware of one but I do remember getting weekly occupational therapy from the age of roughly 4-8 years for movement related problems like toe walking. Unfortunately I can't ask anyone about this and there are no medical records anymore so I don't know what the official diagnosis was.

11 out of 14 for some they weren’t really of use like the driving one since i have no license. And slight confusion on the first one because though i had no issues walking or sitting it did take me a very long time to learn how to ride a bike and also swimming took a long time

Yes i couldn't wallk so they had the school ajusted for me & then at 4 i started to walk haha 😅 i often felt less than others for it but now I'm just proud for what i achieve each day ⛅️

Well I answered yes to 12 of 14 questions. It did affect my quality of life a lot more as a child. But now as an adult, i wouldnt consider it a major impediment, it's been several years since i had a fenderbender. I have never been an athlete but i always liked to dance and i have rhythm so when i dance i feel accurate and precise in my movements rather than clumsy. I wonder if that's a common experience?

Look, I’m not one for self diagnosing myself based on stuff I find on the Internet, but I just learned about this and…DING DING DING

I got just 10answers/questions XD. I'll need to see the video again

I do not have an official dyspraxia diagnosis. As a kid I was diagnosed with dysgraphia and adhd and my mom always said she thought the dysgraphia diagnosis was wrong. Every single thing on you list I was like yes yes yes omg all of the things. How do you go about getting a evaluated for a diagnosis as an adult in the US?? Is it even possible?

All yes. I have been diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy, but is it possible to have both? It seems like most of friends with CP don't struggle with most of these things, but my CP is mild spastic quadriplegia and I feel like I struggle with this kind of thing far more than muscle tightness and spasms, tho they are there. Just wondering if it's possible for them to coexist.

Yes on 11 + 4 Criteria . In fact I think I was yelling it. No on : 1) when I came home from the hospital I could crawl according to my mother . 12) I learned to drive early because I grew up on m a farm and had to drive a tractor . 5) I loved building models when I was a kid.... BUT, I really don't remember if they were any good.

How would sensory processing disorder be confused with dyspraxia? Would it be that you only get clumsy when in bright and or loud rooms? Whereas dyspraxia you would get clumsy anywhere?
