Wait, so you CAN have both Autism and Dyspraxia? Sorry. I just suspect I have Dyspraxia. I can't get a proper diagnosis unless I go through SSI again... or something like that. Bottom line is, it could hinder the SSI if I get a diagnosis of it. :c The more I learn about it for story and research purposes, the more I discover those little things about it that I relate to both now and as a child growing up. The weird part though, is that I never struggled with tying my shoes, zippers/buttons buckles, riding a bike (at least until my almost fatal-helmet-saved-my-life bike accident anyway but finding that a little irrelevant to my possible Dyspraxia diagnosis) or potty training. Yet, I have a lot of issues with gripping pencils. Sometimes, I grip so hard that I also add too much force on writing.
Anyway, I won't bore you with all of my needless details of how I think I have it or not though. Sorry! It just makes me a little relieved knowing that both can be diagnosed at the same time. I read that they actually can't be, but I shouldn't believe what I read since everything can occur with anything nowadays anyway.
