A question semi related to it all. I've always had bad muscle tone and am not strong at all, I can't do pullups and my high jump numbers are almost zero. Anyhow related?? Also

We're doing sword fighting in my acting class right now and I can't figure out how to control my hand and get my arms and legs to do what I want them to. This is related to the muscle tone stuff too, I think...

Hey Dreamgirl,
based on my experience with my son, I would say yes, these things are related to your muscle tone and probably some spatial issues. My son was diagnosed with mild hypotonia at 3 years old. He has always been a bit uncoordinated as compared to his peers, and his upper body strenth is not great. He leans on things a lot. He also goes the wrong way, etc. Couldnt' position his body in space as directed in even simple ways. The neuro said these are all things that make sense with the low tone, which I guess he felt was an indication of a processing disorder. He never used the term SPD, but what he described sure sounds like it. My son was diagnosed with migraines in 4th grade. I don't know if it is related, but headaches have dogged him for years, although it seems to be somewhat better now.
Have fun with everything you are doing. It sounds like you are living life with gusto.
