I had a lot of issues in school, I didn't mix well, was bullied and was always late, I was awful at PE, my work was scruffy and I usually forgot to do homework. As it turns out I'm dyspraxic and that explains every thing in my life which is slightly different to that of people who do not have specific learning difficulties. I don't think your son sounds dyspraxic to me but I echo bluenosewidow on it never being too late to get him assessed. This is not just to aid you in teaching him at home but if he decides to go to college/university then he will get a lot more help with any educational needs he has. The best thing to come out of it for me was gaining funding for a specialist tutor who absolutely revolutionised the way I learn, especially when it comes to exams and my exam grades improved by around 20%.

Perhaps CAMHs will have some idea, my sister has just been re-referred, we're trying to get them to take into account just how much pathological demand avoidance disorder describes all the issues she has, her education welfare officer was very rude to my mum about that today but that's another story.

Surfspud, it's still not too late to get your child assessed.
