Did someone just try to say people with aspergers generally have less co-ordination? Erm....wow.

Movement and Coordination
- There is an impression of clumsiness in at least 60 per cent of children with Asperger’s syndrome, but several studies using specialized assessment procedures have indicated that specific expressions of movement disturbance occur in almost all children with Asperger’s syndrome.
- When walking or running, the child’s coordination can be immature, and adults with Asperger’s syndrome may have a strange, sometimes idiosyncratic gait that lacks fluency and efficiency.
- Some children with Asperger’s syndrome can be immature in the development of the ability to catch, throw and kick a ball.
- Poorly planned movement and slower mental preparation time may be a more precise description than simply being clumsy.
- Teachers and parents can become quite concerned about difficulties with handwriting.
- The movement disturbance does not appear to affect some sporting activities such as swimming, using the trampoline, playing golf and horse riding.
