Clumsiness
April 12th, 2005I suspect that clumsiness is an ADD/ADHD trait, even though it is not officially recognized as one. I have seen so much overlap between the people I know who have ADD or ADHD and the people I know who are clumsy.
I was one of the clumsiest children when I was young. I would spill every glass of juice, milk, water, or other drink, guaranteed. I was bad at sports because my coordination was poor. It would take much more practice for me to become good at something, than for anyone else to attain the same level of skill.
My parents were extremely clumsy too. They still are, but that’s another story.
I think my clumsiness was a mixture of forgetting what I was supposed to be doing and thinking about other things. I had too much going on inside of my head at once.
