Also dyspraxic. Though it's often thought of as a children's disorder, I only really started to feel its detrimental effects when I became an adult and the protective cloak of immaturity was snatched away from me. People forgive an incompetent child, it's only natural. They don't forgive an incompetent 25 year old, and the older I get the more contemptuously I am viewed. And ultimately that's what dyspraxia is to me, a kind of spiritual incompetence baked into me on a neurological level. It's hard to express to those who don't have it what it's like to experience failure after failure with no improvement despite continual adjustment; to constantly be hitting the brick ceiling of your ability every time your ambition stands up. I wanted to be a filmmaker but my difficulties with organization and lack of spatial awareness make it so incredibly difficult.

A question to my fellow dyspraxics: how is your working memory/verbal fluidity? My ability to recall words whilst speaking is so poor that I'm pretty much a social retard because of it. Wondering if this was a dyspraxic problem or a me problem.

What's the best book about the pain of unrequited love?
