They say that autistic people are less coordinated than the regular folk. I don't consider myself uncoordinated. In fact, I love to balance and am pretty agile. I come from the feeling sort so I love to feel balance. I love extremes in measure and thought. How are you in sports, dance, and flexibility? Still, I tend to bump into walls alot and I don't notice the bumps and bruises until later. Sometimes the bruises heal faster than other times, interesting to me at least :?:

I have terrible balance.

However, I have never been seasick. I sometimes wonder if that's because of my poor balance. (I think if I were going to be seasick I would have been already since I've spent a lot of time on boats and ships of all sizes, sometimes in really bad weather.)

I'm also uncoordinated and generally clumsy. I'm terrible at sports. I can't properly throw a ball and if someone throws something to me it is very difficult not to just get out of the way rather than trying to catch it.

I often get aggrivated and frustrated with my clumsiness. I'd love to be able to dance. I'd love to be able to do lots of athletic and gymnastic things, but I'd probably maim or kill myself trying.

My coordination is OK, but I really haven't done jumping jacks, or caught a ball, well. But I CAN do detailed work, etc... to a degree that is above average.

I've always been blessed with good co-ordination and MS's.

Love playing ball sports, driving, etc.

But I've always had really sh*te balance.
