I've only recently discovered my dyspraxia is the cause of a lot of "neurodivergent" symptoms I have

📖 Story

So I was diagnosed with dyspraxia as a child and i am now 31 years old, for pretty much my entire life I just assumed my dyspraxia was the cause of my clumsiness/speech impediments (I pronounce things like Thor as Saw/Sore) and other more physical things

But over the last few years I felt I may be autistic possibly ADHD and tried to get seen but I was told I didn't fit the bill to be seen for either as I didn't pass the specific tests, so anyway I took a deeper dive as I heard thay people with dyspraxia are more prone to having one of the others I mentioned.

Anyway I finally came across the news thay dyspraxia itself is actually a neurodivergent condition and that alot of the way I acted was actually just those that are part of dyspraxia ... including my short term memory which was a relief because I was really concerned about why I was so forgetful with things like leaving the oven on, or leaving washing half done as I was distracted and ended up doing a different job and never returning to the original as I "forgot"

I honestly don't know what I want out of saying all this but it's nice to just write it down and throw it out there I guess
