Fine and/or Gross Motor Coordination Difficulties

Post Reply New Topic

I saw a video of a fellow aspie in the post-a-video thread, and pointed out his obvious motor peculiarities to him. Surprisingly, he claimed he wasn't aware of them.

How many of you have motor coordination difficulties? I believe it to be a common occurence amongst aspies.

I'm in a good physical condition, but my coordination is not that good.

Dyspraxia is a common comorbidity with Aspergers. http://www.autism-help.org/comorbid-dyspraxia-autism.htm

I can't play basketball unless it's in a swimming pool. I can't play soccer unless the field is huge and difficult to traverse in (personal experience). In either case, the game moves too fast and involves coordination among all extremities (especially basketball), but by making the medium harder to move through, water or mud, cardio endurance is the new limiting factor and I have better cardio and muscular endurance than most NTs, just lousy coordination.
