is this dyspraxia?

I am kinda clumsy. I was trying to to put perforations and cardboard in the same sentence and it took me like 5 tries to get it out.
this weekend alone I almost ran into two trees, a column at the mall, tripped over my own foot twice, knocked over a lotion display, ran into a church pew, and tripped over a block, landing on the piano and knocking over a picture frame. I also tend to stub my toes, ram my thighs and shoulders on doorjams, and my way of going downstairs isn't graceful, to say the least. I sound like a herd of elephants. My mom and I just laugh at it but I am seriously starting to wonder if I have dyspraxia or not.

I think it depends. I don't know how old you are, so that makes it more difficult to say, children and adolescents often go through periods of intense clumsiness.

Have a look at this list of symptoms and see what applies to you, and what doesn't. I don't think poor balance alone is enough.

I used to be really clumsy.

Interesting website on dyspraxia. LOTS of similarities with AS. If I had read that first, I would have maybe diagnosed myself earlier.
