I've been busy reading more on ADHD, still trying to find ways of improving my coping strategies & came across something interesting. I'd like to get some feed-back from others with ADD or who knows someone well who has ADD.
In those with ADD, a region of the brain seems to be smaller than those of 'normal' individuals. This part of the brain is also involved in fluid, graceful coordinated movements - not the only area, but still, I found the connection interesting.
I have ADHD, as many forums readers probably know, & have problems with being graceful & well-coordinated. Even with typing, which I've done for many years, I'll still often hit two keys with one stroke. When I walk alongside someone, I often suddenly step out of line, bumping into them though I try not to. I wobble when I ride a bike enough to make me nervous to ride in traffic. And the list goes on which is why I tell people I'm kind of klutzy.
Has anyone else noticed a correlation between ADD & coordinated graceful movements, or is it just a coincidence with me? Comments welcome.
