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.

  • Interesting the smarties between dyspraxia and autism, and the fact they are comorbid conditions. I certainly relate to much of this especially not knowing where things are that I have just been using and forgetting instructions just given in addition to the balance thing. I am not going to publicly self diagnose as it would be taken as some sort of hypochondriac by others but I wonder how dyspraxia  could be diagnosed in someone who is diagnosed autistic (or vice versa).  There seem to be too many parallels although there are one or two autistic traits not present in 'pure' dyspraxia
