It's caused by damage to the brain like any neurological disorder that affects motor ability; it's not that severe per the DSM-IV-TR, but I've seen some young individuals with it barely able to walk up and down stairs without help.

I, personally wonder how many individuals have fallen down the stairs at Professor Attwood's ASD clinic; the ones inside and out are horrible.

Personally I think that the cause is probably just a focus issue. Aspies are much more likely to be focused on something, and when that thing doesn't involve where they are at the moment clumsiness can result.

agreed

My As or whatever it is is a neurological issue that makes me less satisfied with my environment than most people are.


Or maybe I'm just willing than others to pretend I am satisfied with it when I'm not.
