Hey!
I've had a search through but can't find any really specific threads. One of the main things I really suffer with is clumsiness, both physically and with my speech. Does anyone else experience this to such a high level? For example, when I'm tired I will just stop holding things. It's like my hands spasm or something and will just fail to continue holding something. The other night I carried a bowl of cereal into the lounge and then just dropped the whole thing onto a table full of clean laundry! (It's enough to make some food and eat it when you're this tired, let alone have to pick up Cheerios from all over your coffee table...!!) I haven't bothered to fix my phone screen because I constantly drop it, amongst everything else.
In terms of speech, I either slur or I say completely different words to the ones I mean. If I'm trying to say 'machine' it will come out 'magazine', or alternatively I'll just use a completely nonsensical word, without being able to control it. It's like I can 'see' what I want to say in my mind, but my speech comes out totally differently. I also have trouble thinking of words for things. I always thought I had bad memory problems but now I'm wondering if it's yet another thing that can be linked to ME.
Sorry if this has been posted before and I've missed it! I'm still learning how all my little quirks are connected!
