I've been chatting to an online friend about this and we were wondering if we have dyspraxia.
I know there is a link with autism.
When I was in the junior school a school report said: 'although not physically well co-ordinated Debra enjoys PE (physical education, sports)'.
Actually I loathed it and was hopeless and always picked last.
Very poor eyesight didn't help though so sometimes it's difficult to 'see the wood for the trees'.
My whole life I've fallen over, broken and dropped things and walked into anything really that's walkintoable.

What about you?
My coordination isn't great, it took me longer than it should to learn to ride a bike. Sometimes it feels as if tables, door frames and other inanimate objects are out to get me.
My night vision isn't great. My vision also changes, I'm slightly short sighted and wear glasses but sometimes it seems as if my prescription is wrong. I've spoken to an optician who checked and said that it had changed. They think it's weird but put it down to intracranial pressure.
I've got terrible night vision!
I literally need house lights on to see at night or my phone light otherwise I can't move about in the dark.
I once broke my nose trying to move about in the dark.
Turns out I don't know the layout of my house when it's pitch black.

I love the way you express that.
Ditto.
