I've only heard of dyspraxia lately, but I do fit many symptoms of it I think, but I'm embarrassed about it. Like:

* I can't tie my laces (lol)
* I can't tie my hair back
* I can't do a tie properly (forced myself to learn this before year 9, though)
* Get confused with a lot of mathematical things, i.e. graphs
* My handwriting, even when I try my hardest, has been described as being like a kids.. it's so scruffy and "boyish", when I write at a normal or quick pace, it's bad.
* If I were to be asked to climb up or down a single rope, I wouldn't be able to do it.
* If someone throws something at me, I can't duck in time, ever. Even if its thrown from a distance.
* Using a knife and fork is difficult for me. I can just about do it.
* I can't apply make-up that well, and I can't pluck my eyebrows

I'm surprised I got through secondary school with some of that. Because you were supposed to tie back your hair when doing science pracs and PE if you had long hair, and I couldn't tie my trainer laces for PE.. I think once in year 7 I had to have my teacher tie them for me. :/ I died of embarrassment. lol.

I try not to think of this, but these are little things that make my life a bit harder I guess.
