[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 422985, member: 11791"] I agree with busywend, but I'll add some keywords for you to take with you - and a website to check. Recognized in UK, Aus, NZ for some time... hitting the radar in Canada now (barely), don't see much on the radar in US yet, but... Could be: Developmental Coordination Disorder (Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD)), aka Developmental Praxia, aka Clumsy Child Syndrome. Its a whole raft of issues that have to do with neuromotor controls. May affect fine motor skills (handwriting, tying shoes), gross motor skills (riding a bike, walking, bumping stuff), or BOTH, in differing degrees. May be obvious physical issues - or may generate a huge fatigue overload when trying to do normal volume of living. They (we) do NOT grow out of it - ever. But it does improve (developmental... sometimes its just slower to develop), and some areas where it doesn't improve, we just learn to work around. But for a kid - its huge! see: [URL="http://www.canchild.ca"]www.canchild.ca[/URL] - connected to McMaster University, a research site for Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD). Destructiveness... can be subtle - torn button holes, work out backs of shoes (from avoiding re-tying), or obvious (scraped up walls, broken dishes, bent keys, etc.) And its NOT on purpose and NOT their fault... (but still costs a pile of $$!) [/QUOTE]
