Self-diagnosis

I don't think anything major happened this time.

For the most part, the debate was pretty calm, cool, and collected.

Dancing cats and playing pool, this is much more fun

Regarding lost members.

Years ago I worked with alcoholics and addicts.
There was a saying about "discussions".

A resentment and a coffee pot leads to a new meeting location.

These days it could be morphed into
A resentment and a web site
Leads to a new meeting location.

I came in while waiting for my first appointment in the process

Though I have other outlets, WP is a good addition.
I never was good at pool, basketball football or other traditional sports.
Air Hockey and table tennis on the other hand, I was extremely good.

I became pretty good at ping-pong (what US residents usually call table tennis).

When I was 7, I played knock-hockey with a psychologist. On the basis of this game, he diagnosed me as "a kid who hates to lose."

I know what you mean.

When my mother used to brush my hair as a kid, I felt like I was being "tortured," too.

It's hard being a parent. But the teeth must be brushed; otherwise, they'll be many cavities!

Yes, I would have a hard time with this myself!

I have general motor problems,but because of therapy I walk straighter than most people with normal motor skills.Though my writing can be compared to a doctor's because it's barely understandable.

There is the widely promoted and often debunked idea that anyone can become an expert if they practice enough. The common number given is 10,000 hours.

I play Table Tennis with my partner, we have a park close with vandal resistant concrete tables, it seems we can only match each others styles though, recently trying to play with different partners on a proper table brought back all the frustration I used to have with any bat and/or ball games.

I used to play pool too, a long time back. I used to pull off the most amazing complicated shots and then miss the easy ones. If I actually concentrated on what I was doing, I would often miss the ball completely.

I played softball in my teen years and I never became a pro at it or a professional. I was a fair player. I never hit any home runs or hit the ball far out in the field or could get myself to react quick enough or run fast enough. I did track for two years and I sucked at it but it was still fun. I always believed in practice makes perfect, a saying. I also got good at jump rope too and hoola hooping as a kid. I used to suck at those and I kept on practicing. But I have known some NTs who also suck in sports and one of them told me she can't even catch a ball. But just where do you drawn the line for when someone just simply sucks in sports than having poor coordination? Aspies are known to suck in sports due to poor coordination. But that is a myth because someone can be a pro at basketball and be on the spectrum or be a pro at something that is a sport and be on the spectrum but is it still possible to be clumsy?

Sonic, just wondering, how old are you?

This question is stemming from a question asked on another thread. If someone gets an official diagnosis and asks that a diagnostic report not be written for whatever reason, is that person diagnosed?
