Living with Dyspraxia
AT HOME - Adult
At home, adults with Dyspraxia may:
Have difficulty with housework
Some adults with Dyspraxia continue to have difficulty with chores around the home all their lives because these tasks require a number of steps and coordination. For example, making beds, laundry and tidying up can be a challenge.
Have difficulty cooking
Cooking is especially difficult for those with Dyspraxia because it requires planning on what to cook, preparation for ingredients and tools and the many steps to actually cook.
Have problems with grooming
Problems with fine motor skills may create difficulties for tasks such as shaving and blowdrying hair. Applying make up can also be very challenging.
Have difficulty Driving
Driving is one of the toughest tasks for people with Dyspraxia because they must organize, coordinate and execute many actions at the same time. Frequently checking mirrors, using hand-over-hand steering and even operating things like blinkers and wipers can be a challenge.
Have difficulty keeping track of personal and social appointments
​
Feel extremely tired
For those with Dyspraxia, it takes more effort than others to plan, prioritise, process and perform everyday tasks whilst trying not to get distracted. After work, adults can be exhausted just trying to get through the day.
