@Outoftune if you’re still around, and everyone, some of the things on that list are definite signs of Autism. And I have or had all of them. I have two nephews, one with Aspergers and one with ADHD. Coincidence? I don’t think so.
But as for the difficulty with writing, that doesn’t sound like a fine motor issue. More like Dysgraphia, which the nephew with ADHD also has. Fortunately, it does not affect typing and nowadays with laptops and tablets being used in the classroom it is a lot easier for kids who have it.
@damian73, thanks for the reminder. I have to be sure to mention the tics and breathing problems when I go for my assessment next week. Mine mostly went away at about the same age, but they still crop up every now and then and sometimes I will develop a new one.
