Dyspraxia/DCD and ADHD

So I know Dyspraxia/Developmental Coordination Disorder is massively underdiagnosed in the USA.

My own diagnosis is only semi-official but I have a lot of childhood records and all I really had to do was say so I think my real diagnosis should have been Dyspraxia, take a look at my records of all sorts of motor, spacial perception, handwriting issues. Then added, I learned left and right in my 30s, still struggle to tie shoelaces, etc. It's now probable Developmental Coordination Disorder which is good enough for me.

I was in the learning disability program since Kindergarden so I have a lot of records, and have collected a bunch of different diagnosis- several of which conflict with each other - Dyspraxia actually makes the list shorter and a lot more logical.

So I have observed that in the Dyspraxia community there is something resembling a 50- 50 divide between those of us who lean toward ADHD and those that lean toward Autism. It's really really common to have at least tendencies if not dual-diagnosis with one or the other.

I obviously lean toward the ADHD side, in fact I've been diagnosed as ADHD as well.

I wonder how many of you also have Dyspraxia as well as how similar the Dyspraxia/ADHD combo is to ADHD that occurs without Dyspraxia?

I know that the combination of task paralysis I get from ADHD and Dyspraxia can be quite a combo. Not only do I have time blindness and trouble getting tasks going - I also just loose pieces of physical sequences, have a tendency to spill, drop, and knock stuff over.

As an added bonus sometimes my brain just sends panic signals because it sees a danger but doesn't properly communicate why so I have to play detective trying to figure out why I just can not do something that should be simple and straightforward. It *eventually* ends up making sense but there is just no explaining to neuro-typical people.

And people constantly telling me I need to be more careful, more responsible, etc does *not* help at all.
