[QUOTE="Elsi, post: 744155, member: 23349"] Ha! I don't much anymore - but please call before stopping by! :laugh: Yep. I used to hear "If we have to take her, we get to pick one extra player!" :rolleyes: And I've always been famously bad with directions. My ex husband used to give directions to me not as east and west, or even left and right, but as "easy turn/hard turn" - as in "take an easy turn at the next street." E is like this, too - she was a band kid, and was always the one turning the wrong direction in those practice drills where they say "everyone turn to the right!" :p I'd look out at the field and think yep, that's my kid... Martial arts actually did wonders for my physical coordination and directional awareness. The girls and I took classes for several years together. E got really into it and is a 4th degree blackbelt now. I finally did manage to pass my blackbelt test - I am the world's klutziest blackbelt. I would say all that practice brought me up to about average in my coordination and directional skills. It's been a few years and I probably can't do any of it anymore. But mother-daughter sword fights in the teen years are highly therapeutic. I recommend it. 3 hours is about my outer limit, even with family and people I really like. Being social is physically exhausting. I don't know how to separate Aspie-ness from plain old introversion here, though. Waking, sorry to hijack your thread! I hope it's been informative, or at least somewhat entertaining. [/QUOTE]
