How common is standalone dyspraxia, without autism as a comorbidity? I get an impression that DCD is just another tell for neurodivergence. Doubly so because they mention anxiety and exclusion as supposed common consequence.

I was diagnosed with DCD but tested negative for autism.
However that test was 35+ years ago when I was a small child and my brother who's in disability services research is convinced that me, dad and our sister would all meet the definition. Plus i think like half my close friends have admitted that they wondered or assumed I'm somewhere on the spectrum.
I'm dyspraxia but I'm drffo not autistic. It's possible I've got something else and have no idea though
