I’ve just learned that #Autism is very strongly linked with #dyspraxia, and that there is such a thing as verbal dyspraxia. Not only that, but I’ve also learned that there is a form of expressive language disorder under the umbrella of verbal dyspraxia called #cluttering.

The description of #cluttering is very much what happens to me in some situations. I also had extremely delayed physical skills such as tying my shoes and riding a bike. If this is what’s going on… it would explain much.

@deriamis #autism, #vision, and #movement and how they interact are my spouse's research areas! I'm not formally diagnosed with #dyspraxia but I've *always* been a clumsy person with gross motor skills, but have had good fine motor skills. Fall risk is high in my family etc.. I'll have to ask her about #cluttering.

@jamesrylandmiller I’d really love to know more! I’m “doing my own research” at this point, having just come across it, but I’d like to know it’s a real thing and not just baseless self-diagnosis.

@deriamis We're currently without power and she's at work; but, I'll see if I can get a link to some peer-reviewed literature on it so you know it's coming from good science. She's the academic, not me. ;) If I don't answer back by Sunday, please toot at me to remind me.

@jamesrylandmiller Oh, and I really hope you get power back soon. I saw a previous toot you made. Two days without power is just… ugh!
