Do any of you have motor/movement problems?

I hate PE, it's the worst thing ever for me coz I have problems with motor skills (dyspraxia - I has it) and problems with team skills (due to AS) so that adds up to hell during sports.

I forgot to mention, I am horrible at tying shoes, I can't ride a bike for crap (I can if I really, really try but I am really wobbly doing it and I prefer not to ride anyways), and I am bad at stuff like zippers or shoelaces.

I absolutely hate PE, for two reasons:
1) I suck at it, thus I get picked on and laughed at.
2) I hate team work, thus I get in an argument a lot, thus I get picked on and laughed at.
Also, people think I'm inferior to them and have the right to treat me life complete crap. The number of times I've been pushed to the ground, kicked, etc. because I'm not good at sports isn't even funny. People also always moan when I'm on their team, and shout at me every-time I do something wrong. After about 30 minutes of tolerating their ignorance, I tend to shout out something like, 'I GET IT, THROW THE BALL IN THE NET! I SUCK, JUST DON'T GIVE ME THE BALL!' Or something, then everyone looks at me in a weird way, and laughs, and then the person shouting ALWAYS claims they were trying to help me... it pisses me off the way I always look like the easily aggravated person when I personally think I did incredibly well to cope being treated like crap for 30 minutes, and having people call me a dog and such for around a week without some sort of, 'melt down'.
I know this wasn't about PE, but it's the only time where I hate having problems like this. Being forced to demonstrate something against my own will, or participate in sports day is 10 times worse...
EMZ.

I agree with what people are saying about PE

I have TERRIBLE hand writing it looks like a 10 year olds, no matter how neatly I try and how slowly I move my hands it still comes out looking a mess.

Lol I just try to write small.

Or like me... just copy sports articles when we are free to practice penmanship. Or maybe something that interests all of us:)

I only learn't how to tie shoelaces when I was about 13 and am still very slow. I hate team sports at school too and hate other people shouting at me. - but I do go to cross country club.
At school I am really bad at woodwork, sewing, cutting and anything like that and I am always the last to finish - If I ever finish at all.

I was tested at school for dyspraxia but results showed I didn't have it.

Yeah, I did Cross Country in grade 8 and I was quite slow. And tech related stuff I am also not very good at.

only minimally, i scored in the 32nd pecentile... still less than one standard dev. away from the med.

When I was little I had a really weird gait and had to basically be taught how to walk again. Now I walk in quite stiff, jerky movements but I hope it's not too noticeable.
I can't catch or throw well at all, never have been able to, and I've never been able to do a forwards roll. All the other kids at school seemed to find it so easy but I could never do it.
I don't mind so much any more now that I'm in college and don't have to do P.E. which was like torture to me.

Nope!

I found out today that I cannot play racket sports at all. I hate gym class. Oh and I walk with a limp but can ride a bicycle perfectly fine. Tis may be attributed to a car accident in which I was hit while bicycling last year, but it is odd hat i can still bicycle perfectly fine and yet have pain walking unless I limp with my right leg.
