One of them is synonymous. Clumsiness is a learned (or lack of) behavior, whereas children can be taught to be mindful of their actions. As a child who grew up in a poor Eastern European family, I was punished for my clumsiness, which led me to become an adult who pays attention to what he does. While I empathize with individuals who have significant cognitive deficits, I generally have absolutely no tolerance for those who do not make an effort to be mindful of their actions.
- amanaplanacanal 3y agoI’m pretty sure my clumsiness just came with my ASD.

- justinsaything 3y agoGuess someone in that category felt called out. You might need to pay attention to what others say, not what you think they say.
