Do any of you have motor/movement problems?

Post Reply New Topic

I really suck at all team sports, think it is of the problem of Visual-Motor integration all asperger's have... When I play Basket-Ball, i can't even make the ball touch the frame... Shame on me
I had got also problems to learn bicycle ("2 years to learn, it was horrible" said my mother) but thing got better, and I can ride without hands with my 6 yo sister on the back (dangerous I know ^^). My hand-writing is also very poor, (I'm right-handed) so my teacher said I could computer-type all my homework , but that's not erasing the fact that i have excellent cognition and excellent grades at school, still...
That's why I'm not suffering too much of my AS... Because I know a great job in science is reserved for me
For shoelaces, me too, i can't get it right every time, I learnt them when i was 13 yo, so i ask my brothers to do them for me ^^, and I help them for their homework (teaching a 14 yo boy equations isn't that simple, but I manage). And for clumsiness, my 14 yo brother had got the gene from my mother , he's so clumsy he breaks everything he touches and he often makes fall a glass full of water or the salt or the pepper, he is very very clumsy, and I was during my childhood, but now, not really.

Just mild Tourette syndrome.

I didn't learn how to properly ride a bike until I was 9 or 10, though since then in the summer I've been biking on the streets on a regular basis. Your 6 year old sister on the back? LOL, amazing that you could do that!! !! !

I had physical therapy, and my writing is not exactly qualifying. Cursive and shoelaces are two things with no plans to master or learn.

I could ride a bike when I was 5. I remember it was yellow with sparkles all over. I am excellent at team sports. It can take me awhile to get it but when I do I am always one of the strongest players.
On a few occasions I can be clumsy and absent minded but most of the time I am not and I am very quick.
I have always had really neat handwriting too so I guess motor planning or co ordination isnt a problem.
I remember riding my bike with no hands and if I was going down hill I would rest my feet up on the handles bars and no hands!

I only have problems with eye-hand coordination It's creepy

Why is it creepy?

I run into walls a lot I don't know whether to count that or not.
I'm really, reallt clumsy. And I run extremely weird. I can run pretty fast when I want to, but it''s just a strange run.

I guess running into walls can count since you are not always watching where you are going. And I sometimes walk and run strange, not at all in my childhood years, but a few monthes ago I had this problem and I am overcoming it. So that's good for me.

bump

I've never learned to ride a bike and I was never any good at catching or hitting in sports at school. I also couldn't tie shoelaces at all until I was eleven, and then, for about the next twenty years, I tied them, but always wrongly - somebody once told me I tied them 'upside down'. It's only in the last few years I've started to tie laces properly.

I'm quite coordinated. Throw food in the air and catch it in my mouth, play drums, even sometimes stand on one foot on top of a railing. but i constantly trip over things and bump into stuff. i find this funny.

Since going under general anaesthetic about two months ago, as well as other things, I find I keep on dropping things more than before. It's making me really angry

I used to be a clumsy kid with poor body awareness. At the time nobody could understand it or reasons behind it so it was interpreted as low standards in a similar way to people who wear dirty tatty clothes. My handwriting was appalling. The teachers considered it as laziness and stubbornly refused to let me type work on a computer. I was useless at team sports in PE and I couldn't catch balls.

The one thing requiring co-ordination that I had no problems with was bike riding. I learned to ride a BMX in just a few hours and it was really easy. It became my new obsession and my clumsiness appeared to almost vanish when riding my BMX but came back when I got off.

I just posted about a very similar subject in general autism discussion, I would go into detail but I'm very tired and need to go to bed soon.

Yep, I uses to have TERRIBLE motor/movement skills... SENSORY INTEGRATION FOR THE WIN!! As you can see, I have learned to love it. XD
