anyone else unintentionally slam doors?

Post Reply New Topic

I seem to be accused of seeming to be angry alot when I'm not, if it's not slamming doors or talking loudly it's my "idle face"

Curious about the experience of others.

Yep - and sometimes I slam filled cups too hard (guess the result). I just recently learned not to slam car doors.

Yep, especially car doors. I'm always being moaned at, "You don't have to slam the door so hard".

Due to constantly sneaking around the house at night when everyone was sleeping as a child, I'm always tiptoeing around and shutting doors without making the slightest sound. I often startle people who didn't realize I was even there.

Yes, I seem to not have very good "finer" judgment on motor movements, and as someone else mentioned, I'm not good with cups and mugs either. I have to focus on putting my coffee down carefully. I remember years ago seeing someone on a talk show put their drink back on the table with such ease that I just couldn't stop thinking about how different it looked to my experience of putting my drink on a table.

I do it all the time. I also slam the toilet lid down, and apparently, according to my parents, it gives an almighty slam.

Yep. I can't seem to figure out how to use the appropriate amount of force. All my life I've either been doing things too hard or too soft. This includes opening & closing car doors, house doors, toilet seats. Slamming glasses too hard on the table, or clacking them hard against my mouth when I'm trying to take a drink.
People say I sneak up on them, stuff falls out of my hands like some invisible person smacked it out of my grasp.

Jimmyboy, I can totally identify with the above: that post could have been written by me! I've often broken things unintentionally, and close things too hard or soft. I also walk around very quietly and people seem to jump nearly out of their skins at times, not realizing I'm there!

I often spill my coffee when I suddenly made an unexpectedly uncoordinated movement, despite having poured it so carefully, or spill it when removing it from the microwave.

I think my co-ordination has improved from when I was a kid, and especially since I started using a computer mouse. (I can only write left handed and can only operate a mouse with my right ).

Only car doors, because for much of my childhood my Dad drove old junkers which needed their doors slammed in order to actually close.

I chose my current cellphone essentially on the sole fact that it seemed like it could handle being dropped to the floor about once every other day. Still managed to pretty much wreck my phone. I drop and crash with pretty much everything. I need an autistic friendly cellphone as those military grade standard ones are not good enough.

I can attest most of the posts.

I do, almost half the time unintentionally slam doors. Then people mistook me for being angry all the time but in reality I don't know how much force I put to it. Not just building doors, car doors too. I broke a bathroom door stall once as a child. Then I nearly broke a car door once, and nearly broke someone else's side mirror upon opening a car door recently.

But also half the time, I'm stealthy. Trying to be careful not to unintentionally slam any doors at all. And people here kept talking about how I end up popping right behind them.

It's either too hard or too soft...

I also need a very sturdy case for my phone. This one is military tested and has saved my phone at least 10 times.
