How many of us have poor motor co-ordination?

Post Reply New Topic

I have always had pretty poor motor skills, coordination and spatial awareness. I was thought to have dyspraxia as a child. Learning to write was torture for me and I now I only ever print and my writing is very messy. In school assembly everyone had to sit cross legged and when I could not figure out how to make my legs do that I would be told off as if I was being deliberately disruptive which just made things worse.

I could ride a bike and enjoyed it but I could not do it well and was the only kid in the year group to fail the cycling proficiency test. I now cycle to work every day but am still a bit of a liability. I can't corner very tightly as I don't trust my balance and I have quite a loose definition of riding in a straight line which is always fun when being overtaken by a car. I have had loads of driving lessons over the last 13 years on and off but between the issues I have with spatial awareness, executive function, coordination, multitasking etc, I don't really trust myself.

I was never any use at sports and trip and go off course a lot when walking down the street unless I actively concerntrate on my walking. Always banging various extremities on doors and frames too.

Think I found it difficult at first but am now pretty ok with ties and laces. Still sometimes have trouble with buttons and zips but get there eventually.

I have been playing guitar since about 13 but one quirk was that while I could play reasonably well, I could never play using a plectrum as it felt too unnatural and it would eventually fly out of my hand.

I've noticed more and more that I bump into things around my house, usually the same things. You'd think I know where they are by now, but no. I bump into them anyway.

I'm also extremely nervous when I get on a bike now. I can't keep my balance for anything.

Let me put it this way. I could.be real life Mr bean. Very clumsy when I'm.doing new stuff.

I'm next to NT in gymnastics (like still rings, parallel bars, high bar) but I suck in track and field. Dextrous fingers, clumsy feet. Poor sense of balance combined with no sense of rhythm means I haven't learnt to dance. I never learnt how to ski properly and in a country like Finland this is almost high treason.

I'm very clumsy, can't dance and fall down a lot. I never seem to know where my feet are.

ETA: I also have a totally frightening lack of depth perception. i.e. catching a ball: I see it coming...I see it...see it...seeeeeeeeee it...heeeeeeeeeere it comes...my hands are out....Poink. It lands two feet away from me and I'm standing there going, "What the hell happened?"

I cant dribble a basketball or catch a ball,in school when we had P.E. I was made fun of so much I would cry.But I was good at dodge ball,probably because the mean boy in my neighborhood pelted me with hickory nuts(when in season).
I learned to drive with a stick but had lots of trouble getting the gas,clutch,brake thing down.I had no problem finding the gears but using hands and feet together was too hard.I have an automatic now but I can't drive in bad traffic.
Shoelaces took awhile,and for some reason I tie mine backwards, I never noticed till it was pointed out to me.
And I am a klutz,I trip,drop things,hit my head getting into cars,lot of E.R.trips ,I am the biggest danger to myself.

as the op said ...battle

I've been battling all my life, only gave up about 3 years ago.
Even though I had little coordination, cycled.
Jumped out of planes
rollerbladed
danced
without great conviction, just to keep up with NTs.
but cant run, catch a ball or drive to save my life

BUT ITS OK
I can wield a paint brush !

My motor skills are bad. I can barely write ( often what I write is incomprehensible even to me. ) I do play guitar, but I make lots of mistakes. I can also type at an OK speed, but that's mostly because I am a programmer and type most of the day.

I can't really do any sports, never could. I have been playing football from time to time since I was a little kid, but I am still horrible at it ( not that I ever took practice too serious. )

My motor skills aren't all that bad, but I would not say that they are fantastic, either. It took me several years longer than my peers to ride a bike, and to this day I'm very shaky when on a bicycle. I can easily work in a chemistry lab, but my hands shake too much to manipulate very small objects. Since I was a child I often would run into doors, people or bang my head on surfaces by accident, simply because I misjudged how close each of these things were to my body. It took me until age 11 to brush my hair into a ponytail without messing it up. I can drive a car with absolutely no trouble, and my hand-eye coordination is pretty solid (thank you, videogames). So I suppose it could be worse...

My top half is a lot better than my lower half. I was a MVP catcher and batter for softball when I was in middle school, I play guitar, drums, and keyboard, and type well (got an A and honored in business for my typing class). I can put things together, draw well, and my writing is ok (readable).
With my lower half, I am terrible with sports like soccer, kickball, hackysac and even though I love to skateboard, I am very bad at it. I ran funny when I was younger (I was fast though, not anymore) and I walk funny. With softball, my hardest time was running bases. With drums, my hardest time is the parts that my feet do. I've just always been bad with anything that deals with my legs and feet. I even have trouble with steps. I fell down them all the time when I was younger, trip up them all the time now, so I always hold on to the railing and can't be doing anything else while I'm on them.

I guess it's kind of like all my lower half ability is in my upper half. That's how a lot of things are though, what you lack in one area is made up for in another.

Yeah, I am naturally so-so, but I've learned to somewhat override it. Things with repetition (like running) are a lot better to work with than things that require a lot of it (say, basketball). Of course, I'm not into competitive sports much, so it doesn't matter, anyway. I can get a bit clumsy on a daily basis, as well.

Fell down stairs a number of times as a child. My balance is better now, I think my running has helped to improve my overall balance but I still have to be more careful than most people. Battle with ladders, although I have done hiking and mountaineering (steep passes - not rock climbing really) without major mishap.
Writing is fine except when I'm in a hurry, and I'm OK with drawing. But if I hold either of my two palms out they are usually shaky.
I still do certain repetitive movements at times, especially when excited about something.

I've noticed that my coordination has become a lot worse as of recently. Yesterday I tripped over my own feet while walking through the house, and I keep bumping into the same things that I should know are there, but seem to forget about.
