> Hi.I am not sure if Dyspraxia is an autism spectrum condition
I've heard it referred to as a "cousin" condition -- there's a lot of overlap, like there is with ADHD and other conditions. Some people get both diagnoses, many people on the autistic spectrum condition have dyspraxia-type co-ordination problems (I do), and some people diagnosed with dyspraxia seem to have some of the difficulties with social interaction and communication that people on the autistic spectrum do.
But obviously, these things affect different people very differently -- my sensory issues are pretty extreme even compared to some other people on the spectrum, for example.
The most important thing is understanding how your disability affects you specifically (and then finding ways of adjusting and working around it so you can have a good life).
