    I'm no doctor so I can't say for sure, but have you thought that you just might be clumsy? I mean even if you do have dyspraxia, you can still have a normal life, it'll just be a bit harder for you, that's all. Kids with dyslexia are more likely to have dyspraxia, but that might not be your case. In my opinion, you should check with your doctor but remember, whatever the result is, be happy and dream on, even if you wanna be a football player or something, you CAN do anything regardless of your condition :) I hope I helped a bit

    Hi Lucy

    Sounds like you tick a lot of the boxes for being dyspraxic and if you are dyslexic, the two characteristics often do come together in the same person. Usually, whoever tested you for dyslexia would have checked out dyspraxia at the same time. There are exercises that can help develop your coordination and even sports that use both sides of the body like swimming are fun ways of building strength and control. If you have a dyslexia tutor, why not ask them about this?
