I grew up as a child in the 1990s, right before the Internet age. So my parents didn't know anything was medically wrong with me, so I never got any treatment for it. But I fit all of the criteria of developmental coordination disorder

they are awkward or clumsy
they have difficulty with writing, doing up their buttons or shoelaces, or running and jumping
they have difficulty learning new skills
they bump into other people or objects
they become tired easily
they avoid tasks they find difficult, such as handwriting
they have difficulty changing their clothes
they make a mess when eating

All of these applied to me. I also have attention deficit disorder. I highly believe that this was caused by the fact that my mom had gestational diabetes when she was pregnant with me. On top of that, I had an induced birth in which I got stuck in the birth canal and had to be pulled out. And then on top of that, when I was a week old, I got sick with a very high fever and had to spend a week in the neo natal ICU.
