I think that I've finally found my people reading this site. What a relief it is to find people who understand what it's like. I'm Grackle and I'm a 44yr old Canadian woman. When I was a child, I received occupational therapy for a number of years for a small muscle co-ordination problem. I think that the OT helped me a lot although I found it very frustrating (I referred to OT as torture by pick-up sticks or said that I did Ori-mushy - others would call it Origami). I had less trouble with gross motor and I used to run around a lot when I was a kid and played sports that didn't involve hand-eye coordination (of course I was usually covered in bruises from falling down
) Despite the OT, there are a lot of things that I just can't do ,like driving, artistic stuff, recognizing my own neighbourhood and on occasion my own house 
I never connected this to my childhood problems until I thought to look it up recently and eventually found this site. I thought that I was the only one over 7 who drops everything, spills everything, walks into doors, trips over air, can't get organized properly etc. It is so nice to find others like me.Grackle
