Best thing for me to do is paste part of the info from the NHS website; easier to describe!

The main symptoms of dyspraxia include having difficulty with your:

* movement (motor skills)
* balance
* spatial awareness (your sense of the space around you)

This may lead to you bumping into things, falling over, and dropping things.

If you have dyspraxia, you may have difficulty doing things using:

* your fingers – for example, tying shoelaces, typing, or using small objects such as a tin opener (fine motor skills)
* your whole body – for example, walking, driving a car, or playing sport (gross motor skills)

Dyspraxia can also make other things difficult, such as:

* learning new skills and remembering information
* planning and organising your time
* managing in social situations and dealing with emotions

So for me I don't have difficulty riding a bike. But I couldn't drive a car. My sense of spatial awareness in a vehicle like that is impossible because I struggle to use mirrors.

I need very clear instructions when doing stuff; vague instructions cause problems, so you can imagine what building IKEA furniture is like. Often I need to be shown how to do something before committing it to memory.

I'm a fidgeter. I don't sit still for long. Not one for noise when it is distracting me from doing something either. So working in the office I work in is a bloody nightmare.
