Dyspraxia increases the likelihood of ASD, aspergers

2 I prefer to do things the same way over and over again.
5 I often notice small sounds when others do not.
10 In a social group, I can easily keep track of several different people's conversations.
25 It does not upset me if my daily routine is disturbed.
28 I usually concentrate more on the whole picture, rather than on the small details.
32 I find it easy to do more than one thing at once.
33 * When I talk on the phone, I'm not sure when it's my turn to speak.
36 * I find it easy to work out what someone is thinking or feeling just by looking at their face.
37 * If there is an interruption, I can switch back to what I was doing very quickly.

Questions 33, 36, 37 maybe dyspraxic traits.

The other questions are certainly dyspraxic traits. Questions 2, 5, 10, 25, 28, 32 are certainly dyspraxic traits.

I think there is an overlap between dyspraxia and aspergers/asperger syndrome/ASD, not every dyspraxic or aspie has all the traits, but they will have some, so the dyspraxic will have a higher Autism Spectrum Quotient than the non - dyspraxic.

See,http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autism_Spectrum_Quotient

Mathematicians, scientists, engineers are more likely to have a higher score. I think dyspraxic are more likely to have a higher Autism Spectrum Quotient than non - dyspraxic, so the result is that they are more likely to have ASD (aspergers/aspergers syndrome). More research is required and other conditions may have an impact.
