One of the stereotypes with autistic people is that one is clumsy. Before I self-diagnosed I thought I'm not clumsy. Recently I've become very aware that, actually, I am. Not in relation to big things but dropping small things, knocking them over etc. I've just learned to react quick and often catch them before they hit the surface. If I'm tired, then things start to go wrong.
When I was a child, adults would often say something like "you've been in the wars, haven't you?"
As an adult, I'm pretty darn good at recovering and catching things, despite having very slow reflexes. I still walk into things all the time, though, and now that I'm on HRT... my poor developing boobs! It's a running gag in the house that I'm always finding new things to hit them with or catch them on.
I was a bit like that. I practised ball skills etc at home, but was still unco. Playing a couple of seasons of indoor cricket in my early 20s (not very well but it was great fun) helped enormously. Activities like that & golf require a great deal of study & thought & not much natural ability, although practice certainly helps.
My sister OTOH was a sporting all rounder & my brother was a caddy golf champion at the local club where he caddied, & I think both are/were autistic. My team were always very happy to have her fill in if someone dropped out. (She would’ve joined the team, but lived some distance away.)
I loved being active (ADHD) but wasn’t good at sport & was horribly self conscious about that as a child.
