I think it is called dyspraxia, or as it is also called Developmental Coordination Disorder.

Some of the symptoms may be: extremely clumsy, bad posture, trouble with learning to skip or hop, trouble learning to write, trouble with short term memory, dislike of hairbrushing, clipping nails or brushing teeth, unable to catch a ball, etc. Wikipedia has a page on it, and yes, it is also in the spectrum that ADD is in, with dyslexia and aspergers. A different wiring in the brain…

And it is possible to get a proper diagnosis, which can be of help in dealing with child care services.

Good luck with all!
