Proprioception difficulties

ladynicotine

Hi

Apologies if this should be under "health & well-being".  I was diagnosed this year, & one of the problems I seem to have is "proprioception difficulties".  Does anyone know where I might be able to find some sort of list of what these might mean other than "can't catch a ball" & "walks into things a lot"?  

Obviously no-one is going to be able to list them all, but because none of the problems I have a particularly obvious to others & I've lived with them all my life, I have no way of judging what might be autism related & what everyone else out there has difficulties with.

Thanks

    proprioception is a minor issue, in my opinion, compared to your depression. If you are struggling to find some drugs that deal with this then it may be that there isn't a chemical issue to solve! CBT is currently favoured for dealing with depression

    My own experience is that i was getting stressed and depressed before i got diagnosed with Aspergers. In hindsight, i kept getting into situations where i struggled to understand the world and the world didn't understand me. This resulted in repeated conflicts, disappointment and eventually depression as i couldn't get people to see things my way.

    My depression has practically gone now. My approach has been to try to understand what makes me different to NT people and what makes them different to me. As I understand it, this is a cognitive approach as I am striving to deal with the root cause of the depression by working out why the stress situations were arising and then learning techniques to avoid those situations.
