This is dyspraxia.

Ok, you have it bad, or is it manageable?

There can be some aspect of dyslexia though - sometimes when I'm reading, while the words make perfect sense, when I read them aloud, they might get mixed up or I might get confused in what they mean. Another aspect of it, I've noticed, is getting genders mixed up. Like I might say "he talked to her" rather than "she talked to him", without realizing.

Well, I can't really comment on whether I have it bad or not, because I've nothing to compare it against. It just means some things can be rather difficult for me - like juggling would be a near-impossible task for me.

I have a type of Drapetomania, the name given to a mental illness, that caused black slaves to flee captivity. I have the version which causes me to want to escape wage slavery.

Yeah, same with me and my add - they say I have mild dyslexia, but I think it's just part of the add.
I mix up things like that often too.
And I wish my brain had a spell check!
The worst thing for me though is finding words - I can never think of basic words - they're at the tip of my tongue, but I can't remember them, and then there's my useless short term memory! Ah, the list goes on!!

My son though has the opposite, he apparently has hyperlexia, which is where he has an amazing reading ability - he taught himself to read and write aged 3, and now at 8, he's in the top spelling percentile in the country.
He has major problems in other areas though.

It can get really awkward sometimes - like exams were usually quite difficult for me, because I could never hold a pen properly, so I would get extraordinarily bad cramps/aches when I was writing a lot. Memory is also a major problem I find too.

Dyspraxia shouldn't be looked as a disorder the same way as dyslexia shouldn't...

There just a different learning style which require. Different style of teaching I've add and dyslexia and I'd never look at them as a disorder...

Ok so I get longer exam times and more relaxed environments.....

I've add and even tho its classed as a disorder is never agree with it. Again it's a behavioural issue I've learned to cope with a grow with but I get very offended when people look at it that way as it makes me look like I'm speacil.....

The thing is that dyspraxia doesn't just affect things like learning or reading, there are a lot of motor skills that I also find difficult, so it's not necessarily a case of being taught. But I never had any extra time during exams or anything, because while it can cause some problems, I don't let it affect my life.

Wtf are you on about??
They are all learning disorders.
Why shouldn't they be looked at as disorders?
I have great trouble in my everyday life due to my add - it affects every aspect of my life - it is a disorder!
What else would it be like?

I agree, it seems that you are no longer anywhere near "cool" if you are not suffering from any sort of mental condition. There are people who are seriously suffering from conditions such as depression, but let's face it: they are the ones you won't hear talking about it.
My favourite ones are thosw with depression, add, adhd, borderline etc, who will do anything to get someone's attention. I seriously can't take anyone seriously who cuts their arms and then displays this embarrassment to the outside world to look important.

I have to thank the OP for this thread, it's actually greatly amusing to read the posts. My favourite one is the PMS = disease so far.

This thread reminds me of Stephen Fry's documentary about Bipolar disorder/manic depression. In it, he says that most British psychiatrists believe the USA is setting a dangerous precedent by diagnosing young children with mental disorders. An American doctor refuted this by saying something along the lines of, "If it means we can catch these problems sooner, the kids will grow up to have normal lives instead of struggling with an illness they don't understand, or even realise they have."

I find it hard to judge, myself. I can see both sides of the argument. However, I don't believe young people should be medicated. Sure, if you want to diagnose them that's ok. Just send them to therapy and teach them tools like CBT so they can deal with things themselves. Pumping growing bodies full of chemicals is dangerous business, and I can see from my own family experience what medication from the age of 5 does to a growing mind. I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

Yes, we long for the old days, and the simplicity of the language. 'Yer one with the knickers' or 'Yer man with the twitch' was good enough to describe patients for many centuries - why change now?

Having 'nerves' was a brilliant catch all term in this country from the mid 50s even up to today with some people!

Amazing the way people get so defensive about mental disorders when people challenge them, particularly the ones that are controversial even within the medical community. When you look at the symptoms for something like ADHD, it could apply to about 80% of children in varying degrees.

Undiagnosed OCD for god's sake I can't stop googling random stuff online.Hours and hours of googling stuff at the slightest trigger just to p*** away all the time i should be spending on my study.It's really not fair i really really want to well in my course and i'm well able to do it,but i just feel so trapped by this.I'm going to fail my fyp over this

*Joke to lighten the mood-I'm 99% sure i have OCD but i just need to check one last time*

I have depression, anxiety issues and Selective eating Disorder.

My Selective Eating Disorder is a PITA, it means for whatever reason in my head I gag at the sight, smell of taste of vegetables. So if I go to a restauraunt I am limited in my choices, it's a source of embarrassment when I am invited to a friend's house to eat and it's annoying when I have ignorant people tell me I am just fussy, was spoiled as a kid(I wasn't, My parents would tell me you either eat your dinner or starve... so I starved, they wouldn't leave me up from the table until I ate all my veg... I often stayed sitting at the table trying not to gag at veggies or I tried stuffing veg into paper towels and binning it:( )
Oddly enough I can eat some vegetables depending on how they are cooked,
e.g Chips(both regular and sweet potato), roasted(potatoes and parsnips), potato waffles
