Motor problems in autism persist into adulthood

My wife used to comment on my gait/the way I walk. I have a tendency to veer from side to side as though a little drunk. Have never had good balance and coordination.

I have little problems in all areas of motor skills... And odd gait happens whenever I feel like it. I could perform better overall than the average -- better balance, more complex maneuvers, dexterity, faster locomotion, good spatial abilities, motor planning, etc...


Except Time Reaction -- which is a major thing for fast paced games and sports, also (micro) timing throughout interactions. Mine never improves with practice, and muscle memory or rote memory can only brought me as far. Not a major problem on daily basis, but it's the most notable part I have.
I think this part had something to do with the sensory system and the neurology's circuits that processes sensory information...

Still the same motor issues, too, but it's no big deal. We are minds with a body, NTs bodies with a mind.

I recently became a motorcyclist, and my instructor admitted after that he didn't think I'd manage to pass CBT (well, I didn't first time, did attempt #2).

Apparently I have "no coordination", and I'm the first time someone's dropped a bike just from walking it around. Oops.

I do activities that improve my coordination. I have an electronic dart board in my basement to practice throwing soft tipped darts. Another activity is keeping hand written records.
