Basically, for many people with ADHD, we aren’t so good at sensing where our bodies are in relation to the world around us. So it’s not abnormal to, say, run into doors when walking through them.
I do have one, but I haven’t had any experiences that would make me sit down and cry or anything traumatic. He’s a handful (and then some) at times, but definitely more good times than bad ones.
Uuh…yeah that’s not part of growing up with ADHD, at least not universally in any way…and what’s with the bruised legs?
Lot of disinformation in the answers you got so I’m here to clear it up.
>Alterations to proprioception is a sensory characteristic that is inherent to ADHD symptomology.
>Proprioception is guided by receptors in the body that connect with the brain through the nervous system so that even without sight, a person knows what his or her body is doing.

I’m pretty much perpetually covered in bruises.
Try having a kid with ADHD sometime. I love mine, but it is also genuinely traumatic sometimes
