my son was just diagnosed with verbal apraxia maybe 3 months ago. it has been extremely challenging with him and he has been in speech since he was about 2.5 years old.

a lot of people who do not know him very well are always asking for translation of what he just said, I'm constantly asking him to slow down so i can understand him. his peers sometimes find it hard because they do not understand what he is saying.

my son also has significant hearing issues that I am still trying to figure out. he got his 3rd set of tubes put in, and tonsils and adenoids removed.

i have built up a largr list with help from family, things i recal and things that affect me daily still. i am 29 undioanosed but will be making an apointment to see gp soon.
my dad told me it was hard to know what i liked as a child and that it was hard to know how i was feeling as for years i had a blank face / unsmiling.
my school life was frustrating , impossible tasks, endless inconsistancys with spelling (something that has no left me. iinability to do maths. follow directions, coppy from the board. or from page to page
no matter how hard i tired i was never able to acheve the out of reach goals.
i was glad to leave school. the times were less aware and i was diagnosed asdislecsic, my family never connected the leaning whilst i walked holding drinks tilted and leaning whilst i carry. smile issue , inability not reaching and problems earing and choking. not talking for years and missing milestones problems in early childhood, my parents hoped i would recover from these early worrying things and they hoped id catch up, when i did they didnt connect the learning issues later on.
at 16 i began to self harm attacking first possetions and artwork id created, then i began to hit my legs and pull out chuncks of hair. i felt that no one understood as they didnt think i was giving 100 percent it seemed!! i had difficulty with parents and moved out at 15.
at work i have always found it difficult that sometimes i must ask 4 times to repeat the question, or cant frame mine or put the words in order. this is hard some people think your taking the mick hehe.
borning people to death without knowing it jumbling storys and jumping around so im hard to follow. new people have told me a few times they diidnt like me at first< quite a few people, why they think i should know is beond me.
i have had anxiety as long as i can remember and my family always saw me as a massive worrier. i have had panic attacks since 16 sometimes mild sometimes dramatic, i can often inhale tea because i think i have swollowed but have not, it causes instant hyperventilation.
it is managable, it changes. i can carry food but must hold concentrsation maximum, i can have a good year eg x3 panic attacks this year (exclucing tea choking) or a bad year. it seems when under pressure and during a test i melt get worse feel exposed frustrated and angry.
i feel better knowing that this massive list verified daily by relitives is like a list of lots of my personality, everyone said it sounds like me. will let you know what the doctor says x

oh yeah and family and friends poor mother was ocd with the biggest spiller bless her i got told off alot for being so clumsy. poor dad drove himself mad at the homework table he would get frustrated and angry and i would cry and get no where. he couldnt understand how i could remember a lymric but write one word four ways and be unable to repeat. also got mis read as being misrible as a child by some people and was told this was due to being so glum ( even when i felt happy and specificly on occasions i remember being so. it seems to have been as frustrating for the parent as for the child in my case, it brought my dad to shouting and me to regular tears

*managable in first post, as in can live out of home etc and can get on in life, not certain traits however, some stay like verbal for me and some like leaning cot compensated over time
