Fine Motor Skills | Are YOU This BAD? (UNBELIEVABLE)

Are you this bad at fine motor skills and autism? This is how bad I am and I am really struggling with it! FREE AUTISM WEBCLASS 👉🏼 www.theaspieworld.com/freeaut...
Fine motor skills can be very difficult to deal with when you’re on the autism spectrum, comes with part of the autism diagnosis this can be a very difficult thing to deal with
I personally struggle with fine motor skills by putting keys into doors using my insecurity to pick small objects up and trying to do buttons and shoelaces.
This issue with fine motor skills as one of the main reasons why I tend to use slip on shoes or elasticated shoelaces rather than traditional shoelaces.
Issues with motor skills are there are people on the autism spectrum and I am trying my best to come up with ways to help overcome having such issues with fine motor skills.
In this video I’m exploring some of my personal insight and some of the ways in which I am trying to help myself overcome having issues with fine motor skills through practice and fine motor skills activities.
Please like this video share it if you think it can help someone and also leave a comment if you have anything to add I can help.

Impractically dyspraxtic. But it’s inconsistent, I grab pencils and somehow they go flying, but I make jewelry as well. It’s weird.

[@Traumatised311]

I am autistic and dyspraxia even though I don't have official dyspraxia diagnosis by a doctor I am sure I have it cause most autistic people have it, it's like one of the symptoms

[@tthappyrock368]

Maybe different parts of the brain are involved as in speech vs singing, e.g. a person who loses the ability to talk may be able to sing since speech function is in only one part of the brain whereas singing uses many areas.

[@saw-alone-man6150]

It's happen sometimes

[@MrComicalmoodydan]

I never realized this was an autism trait, I wear slip on shoes as well. I don't drive either and people always push me to do it. I admit I feel like a fool at times. I even don't like to admit it. I'm just learning to accept what I can and can't do and try to work around it. Thank you so much for your videos! I'm learning more about myself and this is just incredible. To see others with issues the same as me, I don't feel as bad about it.

I don't have problems with fine motor skills I do very detailed artwork. But I have problems with depth perception.

My son who is 24 has beautiful artwork but has great difficulty with handwriting and buttoning buttons and other fine motor skills.

[@sweetnsour5661]

BlackMuddyRiver When I think about it more I’ve problems with zips, buttons and putting the key into the front door. I don’t tie laces I have slip ons. So maybe I do have a little bit wrong with my fine motor skills. I hate to admit things lol...

[@MyMomo17]

@@sweetnsour5661 My son wears Vans too. He had occupational therapy, speech therapy and an exercise therapist when he was in school and we finally ended up having to adapt. by buying Vans and trying to avoid buttons. I've thought about getting a lock with a code for the door. But he very happy and a great artist.

[@amandad8899]

Interesting, I also have depth perception problems. I was tested for a work in a factory once when I was young. It was to see if I could drive a fork lift. I could not, because I had no depth perception. My eyes did not blend information together. They both see independently essentially. I have no idea if it is related to anything of this.. but I am certainly curious. I will also say I was born very premature, so could have been related to this.

[@Claire-xn1cw]

Omg!!!! I didn’t know issues with fine motor skills is a sign of autism!!! I’ve struggled with my fine motor skills my whole life. I wasn’t diagnosed with autism until I was 13 years old. My fine motor skills have gotten much better as I’ve gotten older. However, I really struggled with learning to write. It took me much longer than my peers to learn to tie my shoes, and I struggled with zippers. It took me so much longer than my peers to master these skills, I started getting picked on. In elementary and middle school, I would constantly loose points on tests because my writing was so illegible. This explains so much. Thank you!!!

[@skwervin1]

I used to do a lot of fine embroidery - my mum taught me as a little kids which helped me with the pincer movement. BUT I trip over my own feet bounce off walls, often drop or juggle my phone. I am in my 50's and I did a lot of fine motor practice as a kid to get my writing right because in those days - no computers..laughs. I would come home from school and practice writing for an hour or so.

[@conradsmith9441]

I’ve always had terrible handwriting. It’s something I’ve always been self-conscious about. Also my special talent is music. I’m a great singer (best choirs in musical colleges) and I can play piano too. However, I feel that my piano abilities are diminished by my problems with my fine motor skills.

[@Going2GoUp]

Same here.

My hand writing is atrocious

[@williamromero-auila7129]

[@TheAspieWorld]

[@JennaBrownMedia]

I've always gripped my pencil really tightly, and no matter how much I've tried to loosen up over the years, it just doesn't happen! It's the only way I can control my hand enough to write legibly. Typing is as easy as breathing. I got into crocheting very young, and untangling and winding balls of yarn is very soothing, so I got extra practice for shoelaces. One thing I've never been able to do is get my fingers to be able to play guitar - that's just way too much twisting, and it doesn't match at all what the other hand does. Bass was easier, but touching things is my Thing, and I didn't want to get calluses right on the most sensing parts of my fingers!

[@mariajames-thiaw5797]

My son told me to watch this because this is what he is going through. He can't tie his shoes, or button a shirt or write legibly.

[@TheAspieWorld]

Ah yes!! It’s soooo difficult 😩

[@MyMomo17]

My son has the exact same issues we finally were able to teach him to type and use voice typing software to write papers, bought him shirts without buttons and shoes that don't tie.Vans are his favorite. We replaced the buttons in his pants with hooks. Now he is 24 he can button buttons but his handwriting is torture for him.

[@MyMomo17]

They have elastic curly shoelaces that you just twist a few times.

I don’t know if I’m just clumsy, but I constantly run into wall corners, counter edges, and chairs. The only fine motor skill issues I’ve really noticed are getting coins out of a cash register, I’m really stumbly when I play the piano, and sometimes when I play the violin my pinky will randomly spasm and pluck the string.

[@leem.5246]

My most prominent stim when I was younger was swinging my pencil between two fingers... except sometimes (often times) it would just fly out of my hand. Then I would just be holding a pencil and my hand would jerk and I’d throw it across the room 💀.

[@egg_bun_]

I love to draw since I have attention to detail, and I've drawn ever since I was really young, like 3-4 or so. But other kinds of fine motor skills like embroidery is difficult for me and gives me a really odd feeling.

[@RoxGirl88]

I have problems with Fine Motor Skills too! And your Videos are very helpful!

[@tthappyrock368]

Great tools to help strengthen one's abilities! I generally think in terms of workarounds like typing rather than hand writing, large pulls for zippers, Velcro, etc.

[@diontaewalsh4300]

I just want to say I love your videos. Thank you so much for all you do. I was diagnosed with autism in my adolescents and instead of asking how and in what ways this disorder defines me makes me who I am which I never did research I just assumed I was just weird and out of sorts. It took me a little longer to learn to tie my shoes as a child I had to be taught so many times and I'm still doing it the bunny ear way even to this day. I have a problem remembering my left from my right I have to literally pretend I'm writing something with my right hand to know which direction someone is referring to. Also my handwriting is unreadable half the time I have to spend a great deal of time to make it readable(I don't know if that's a fine motor skill that affects aspies)

[@diontaewalsh4300]

Also I'm always being told I have a great poker face because I show no emotion. I don't know if that is an aspies thing or is it just me doesn't relate to this video but I'm generally curious. Being emotionally disconnected or not being in touch with all of your emotions I think is an autism thing but it never hurts to ask so I can feel like I'm not alone.

[@murielbilly4296]

Hello, I have bad fine motor skills. And my hands are shaking at the end of the afternoon, due to fatigue. So a few years ago, I thought if I try coloring books, they is plenty of them, and sometimes with tiny details. They are fun, and helped, even if I still can't draw a straight line or cut with scissors, it's still a mess. 🙂. And all day long I make things fall. Even if it's bad for my back, I 'm regularly on my knees, because my long clip can't take a piece of paper, or a blueberry on the floor, or rolling things, it often makes me smile because my long clip or my crushes often fall too😊.

[@butternutter9847]

My handwriting is horrible. If the paper doesn’t have lines my words curve and change size all over the place. I still have never learned to hold a pen/pencil correctly. My teachers in school gave me the fat pencils and it kind of helped

[@northyland1157]

I can't do most the stuff in this video. I've never had trouble tying shoelaces. What I do have trouble with is neet hand writing. Everybody thinks I"m being lazy and sloppy, when I want so bad to have neat handwriting. I practice.. I hold the pen tight.. I hold it loose.. I hold it high, I hold it low.. No matter what I do my handwriting is crap.... Also I have missed many math questions because I couldn't tell If I wrote a 1 or a 7., or a 0 or a 6. On top of that my old boss would yell at me for my bad handwriting. I wish I had better motor skills but I don't..

[@tazyou11]

The physical therapist I was seeing taught me a trick to help with fine motor skills. He had me pick up a pencil with my thumb and index finger and keep putting it down and pick it up then keep repeating for as long as you can do it. Hope this helps someone.

[@cindysullivan4867]

i usually hold two fingers on either side of the keyhole (you can kinda grip get a grip on the round thing sometimes) so i can position the key in the middle :)

[@MeMyselvesandPharaoh]

Definitely have motor skill issues. I tried to play sports when I was younger and my coach gave me an award for trying so hard when I'm so naturally TERRIBLE at it. My handwriting is terrible, I can't do things like video games, my typing is an adventure and a half. I used to cry when I had to type things for class and my mom would type out my papers after I wrote them. Eventually I got into writing fiction and spent so many hours laboriously typing that I can do it acceptable now... but not if you change my keyboard.... I routinely drop and knock over things. Not to mention just running into doors, tables, etc etc

[@jenniferrose250]

Thank you for posting this because fine motor issues are a real issue for my 6-year-old daughter. It is good to see that as an adult, you still struggle with those issues but are able to find alternate ways to fully function in life. I find that I am constantly advocating for my daughter because of her struggles and I feel that people underestimate her capabilities for the future. It's very discouraging. Have you struggled with others underestimating your abilities as you grew up and if so, do you have any advice for encouraging confidence in kids facing that?

I finally invested in the elastic laces after having them in my Amazon cart since the lifehack video.

Hi!

[@l3radick]

The sound of things brushing up on the fabric from your KZbin Fanny pack sent shivers down my spine lol. I have some Bluetooth ear buds like that too. The casing is cracked on the outside because I've dropped it so many times. But I don't use pinch grip to get them out. The dips the buds reside in are shallow enough and held magnetically that I can push on the front of them and then they'll be out easy enough to grab. Keys are tricky. I focus on the subtle changes in sound and feeling of my movements to get things done usually, taking a page out of blind people's book. Visual comes second to those two other senses for me. Or at least that's how I do it. But if either of hearing or feeling/temperature is overloaded or absent then I'm in for a bad time. I know this doesn't affect you Dan, but playing instrument's like guitar. You need that pinching pressure to make a clear sound.

[@TheAspieWorld]

Yeah it’s super strange, I’m gonna do an update video on my ability to play music but issues with motor skills.

[@MiaraAvalin]

I have had a preferance for shoes I can slip on since I was a kid, between never getting the bows right and walking three feet only to have to tie it all again and not having the patience I just learned to tie the shoes I have for everyday use in a slightly loose state and dubble knot them (as an adult that is). However as a kid and teen I used elastic shoe laces for a very long time, still wish I knew where to find some locally now because some shoes dont work to keep tied constantly (like winterboots for example). I also have a problem maintaining a grip and will drop things suddenly (like my phone or anything else small I'm carrying or picking up). My hand eye coordination is also very off. I'm not diagnosed with anything yet but I'm on the waiting list for adhd and autism evaluations.

[@npnaia]

A really important thing that is mistake in fine motor skills with pincher grip (or any kind of grip) is just gripping with too much strength because you're focusing on gripping. The trick is lightening the grip as much as you can by checking if you can feel temperature, texture, etc with the tips of your fingers as you grip. Like close your eyes, and focus on your touch. Only complete relaxation will allow for total sensory mapping of what you're gripping, and when you can totally focus just on the sensations of touch and have the object mapped as much as possible in your sensory awareness, will you be able to move it simply by focusing on the object and not in your hands. Also feeling gravity on certain movements, as the force of gravity influences all your 3d moves in space, and you need to feel its effect to improve motor skills. An example of a movement that incorporates feeling gravity is driblling a basketball ball. The same principles of feeling gravity can be applied to a simple finger tap on a table, or using gravity pulling the pants when undressing the pants. Certain types of movements, you need to feel gravity and let gravity be the force that drives the movement, and your muscles just run a closed loop system counteracting gravity

Interestingly, my daughter, who is on the spectrum, has exceptional fine motor skills. She had exceptional fine motor skills since she was a wee little baby. Her motor skill challenges are more relating to lack of rhythm and gross motor activities. I only mention this so people don't make the assumption that ALL people who are autistic MUST have fine motor skill challenges. Don't think someone who says they have autism is lying if they don't struggle in this particular way.

My fine motor skills are fine, but my gross motor skills are gross. I am good at operating small things like drawing pens or a crochet needle, but I often drop them.

I have trouble with my Apple Watch. Stupid band unsnaps on me all the time. Takes me a bit to get it on properly. Do you have problems knocking things over? I do it with just my finger tips all the time. really annoying. The Air Pod Pro is a bit of a pain getting out. Love them anyway.

[@breakthecycle16]

What about in girls? I’m very different from others and also different from autistic boys, so I don’t know how to even learn the things I need help with specifically.

Has autism effected your ability to drive ? I can’t find and videos on the topic and I’m curious to know the struggles and tips for someone with fine motor skills and autism. My niece will be 15 in a few months and she is really nervous about driving but wants to learn. Any advice or tips or videos would be appreciated. Thank you

IDK if it’s just an autism thing but i have adhd and i’m very two left handed and clumsy. I trip on air and i’m not the best person in sports.I don’t have that bad fine motor skills but i suck at everything related to knitting or origami, i learned how to tie my shoes at age 10. I do have a good handwriting though and i’m good at drawing/painting.

[@ilive4anime.]

I am surprisingly very dexterous:D anything that makes me do detailed work or connect things is my forte because everything can be shut out Sensory issues are my worst enemy. Can't have 1 week without shutting down with a family that just doesn't comprehend how bad my sensory issues are. -_- music is a double sided blade.

[@mcdude7757]

Well if i hold something in my hands, they just end up flying in random directions. Always a sight to behold for my friends and i always just laugh at it. :)

The Aspie World My grandson has Asperger’s and was also diagnosed at 9 months with low muscle tone. Low muscle tone is not just weak muscles but also lack of coordination in using the muscles. He goes to occupational therapy for small motor skills and physical therapy for gross motor skills. He couldn’t crawl when he was 9 months but he could roll anywhere he wanted to go. His legs and core muscles just weren’t strong enough so they couldn’t work well enough to develop his coordination. He got caught up at that time and was doing well until he got older. He seemed fine, but never wanted to ride a bike or swim or ride his scooter because his muscles in his legs and core were again to weak. He began therapy again and has gotten much better. It also affects his handwriting and vision. The eye muscles were not lining his eyes up correctly because they were weak. We discovered this in kindergarten and he began vision therapy. He was reading on a 2nd grade level and liked to read but would get tired very quickly. The vision therapy helped his sight so much and it actually helped his handwriting, coloring and small motor development too. He’s doing great now but when this virus stuff calms down he’ll need to start his therapies again. He also has a hard time with buttons and shoe laces. Therapy helped him master them but it still takes him much longer and he hates to do them. He’s 7.5 yrs. old now. I hate to think how many kids fall through the cracks and get labeled as trouble makers or lazy just because most educators and even Drs don’t know what to look for with the vision thing. It affects so much including motivation and frustration level. He was having aggression problems in kindergarten and my daughter just would not give up on it being more than a behavior problem. God bless her for following her mother’s instinct and pushing for many different tests to get him help. Once the vision thing was addressed the motivation and aggression problems cleared up. He is a sweet child, brilliant and totally interesting to chat with. He has captured my heart forever!

Because it is a neurological function that part of the brain or its wiring.
