It's a spectrum like everything else, you've definitely got some of the markers! It's not a 100% thing either, like it's not a cerebral injury or a palsy where there's a specific damage or something.
Like for me I have terrible hand/eye coordination, I have to have my phone keyboard take up most of the screen to hit the right button reliably, I'll also have what turns into a borderline speech impediment if I'm trying to do something fiddly at the same time. I'll randomly drop things for no reason or I'll just spontaneously misstep and end up on the floor every now and then.
wow. yeah this is amazing for me as these things line up. hand eye has always been a bit poorer than others and I do get where my speech can get goofy if im engaged in thought along with the dropping thing. Again though not that often. Almost just enough to have noticed over a lifetime. Its kinda reassuring to think there is a reason and im guess im lucky I did not get enough genes or whatever turned on to the point it fires more often. The speech thing is like more of a threshold thing though. The more I have to concentrate the harder it is to speak and the more likely I will say something goofy.
