My kid has minimal physical issues other than just generally being not athletic and uncoordinated, but has extreme difficulty with mental organization in writing and things like telling stories. Our evaluating Dr has told us many times that there is a lot of overlap in this type of symptom and autism, so i could see how someone could misdiagnose one for the other if the testing wasn’t great or comprehensive.

Why haven’t you had a a reevaluation for 8 years?

That’s not dyspraxia. Dyspraxia is a physical condition.

Also constant reevaluation is not necessary.

It’s not purely physical. My DD has the (classic)physical symptoms of dyspraxia - but it also impacts sequencing in terms of doing word problems, multi-step tasks (needs to be broken down into smaller parts), following more complicated instructions, etc. it’s definitely a parallel to the physical impact.

That is not part of the DSM diagnosis.

I dont find any studies that show it is or isnt related. Amazing the garbage they waste funding on
My dyspraxia son absolutely has problems with figuring out the steps and getting overwhelmed as described by the pp.
