My younger sister has it. I don't know what symptoms you have, but I don't think it effects her life overly much. My sister has difficultly with motor motions across her body, reversing letters, general coordination. She has a lot of difficultly starting activities. For instance she is very smart but homework takes forever to start because it is hard for her to remember all the things she needs to do; get out the binder, the pencil, read the instructions, etc. She also can't make lists in her head or remember them, and she has a lot of problems with sequencing which makes some things, especially composing writing difficult. And I know this is unlike you, but she has extreme difficultly waking up. I know she has symptoms that are separate from dispraxia, so I apologize if I have listed them. If you want to know more I will ask her to write you something herself
