Dyspraxia, also known as developmental co-ordination disorder (DCD), is a common disorder that affects movement and co-ordination. Dyspraxia does not affect your intelligence. It can affect your co-ordination skills – such as tasks requiring balance, playing sports or learning to drive a car. Dyspraxia can also affect your fine motor skills, such as writing or using small objects. This page focuses on dyspraxia in adults. You can also read about childhood dyspraxia. Symptoms of dyspraxia Symptoms of dyspraxia can vary between individuals and may change over time. You may find routine tasks difficult. If you have dyspraxia it may affect: your co-ordination, balance and movement how you learn new skills, think, and remember information at work and home

your daily living skills, such as dressing or preparing meals

your ability to write, type, draw and grasp small objects

how you function in social situations

how you deal with your emotions

time management, planning and personal organisation skills Dyspraxia should not be confused with other disorders affecting movement, such as cerebral palsy and stroke. It can affect people of all intellectual abilities. When to see a GP See a GP if you think you may have undiagnosed dyspraxia or problems with your co-ordination. It's a good idea to keep a diary of your symptoms. The GP may refer you to a physiotherapist or an occupational therapist for tests. They'll assess your movements and how your symptoms are affecting you before making a diagnosis. If you have dyspraxia, you may also have other conditions, such as: attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)

dyslexia

autism spectrum disorder

difficulty learning or understanding maths (dyscalculia)

depression or anxiety

Causes of dyspraxia It's not known what causes dyspraxia. You may be at a higher risk of developing it if you were born prematurely. Dyspraxia is more common in men and often runs in families. Treatment for dyspraxia There is no cure for dyspraxia but there are therapies that can help with daily living, such as: occupational therapy – to help you find practical ways to remain independent and manage everyday tasks such as writing or preparing food cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) – a talking therapy that can help you manage your problems by changing the way you think and behave It may also help if you: keep fit – you may find regular exercise helps with co-ordination, reduces feelings of fatigue and prevents you gaining weight learn how to use a computer or laptop if writing by hand is difficult

use a calendar, diary or app to improve your organisation

learn how to talk positively about your challenges and how you've overcome them

Why do we stop rules of survival?

The game will be shutting down after its big 2.0 update, dubbed “New Era New Hope”, failed to garner more players and encourage existing ones to play more. The game, which was once one of the most popular mobile games around the world, has since been overtaken by games like PUBG Mobile and Call of Duty: Mobile.

clutchpoints.com - Rules of Survival shuts down today after four years of service

NetEase has ceased the operations of the game, as Rules of Survival shuts down four years after its initial release. Rules of Survival, one of if not the first battle royale games on mobile, will finally close its doors to users today, June 27, 2022. NetEase, the publisher of the game, announced Rules of Survival shutting down back in April, four and a half years since its release in November 2017. The game will be shutting down after its big 2.0 update, dubbed “New Era New Hope”, failed to garner more players and encourage existing ones to play more. The game, which was once one of the most popular mobile games around the world, has since been overtaken by games like PUBG Mobile and Call of Duty: Mobile. With the game lagging behind in terms of graphics, features, and overall gameplay experience, Rules of Survival quickly fell behind its competition. NetEase promised that compensation will be given for unused Diamonds (the game’s premium, paid-for currency) that are still in the server account at the time of the game’s deletion. However, the window for filing a refund is only eight hours long, which will be from June 28 at 10:00 PM PT to June 29 at 3:00 AM PT.
