Bad motor

Fine motor developmental delays describe a lag in the ability to use the extremities (hands, fingers, wrists, tongue, lips, feet, and toes) as expected for a child's age. Fine motor skills involve the ability to hold, use, or manipulate objects using some of the smallest muscles of the body

I mostly managed most tasks at times noting I struggled and it wasn't just strength to drive difficult skrew in, it's more obvious on my son, he's not very good with tools, couldn't get water cap off car, bit tight.

Back to seeing why ASD is defined as a disability, looking at his memory and fast rate with good maths/science grades to cheer up.
He goes out less than brother, lacking sun glow on his legs,

How do you cope with working with tools, should just get practice, try new things. Keep positive
 
The good news is that fine motor skills can be developed through repetition. I learned this when I was training and competing in powerlifting. There are very specific ways to lift, to make your body a better lever (from a physics perspective), and if your body positioning, movement, accessory muscle engagement, or the weight is off even a centimeter, you aren't going to lift the weight. So, after thousands and thousands of very specific motor movements, your body learns, and you can do things quite skillfully.

That said, there are a lot of things that I simply do not have the fine motor skills to do, but on the other hand, those things I only do occasionally, and have not attempted to master through instruction and repetition.

I am of the mind that most people can do whatever they set their mind to, if they are willing to put in the time and work to master it. Assuming you are not suffering from some neurodegenerative disease process, your motor skills are adaptive, and you will become more skilled and proficient.

The neurological testing I recently had indicates that I am.
 
I have lot semantic memory issues, but my boy still young, so just to get him to survival standard. His brother goes with friends fishing, and I am still single so I want him to go with for male figure attention and to fish on the boat. He won't eat fish, insists not going and it upsets me. With ASD I think we bottle up our feelings but still affected like others and with messy divorce I think he needs time with a man.
I noticed he's getting better with tools, since helping me wire the electric fence and was first practical in electrical learning that wood is actually semi confictor, simple mistake. Don't touch the wood.
I was stressed other day and then annoyed over the food, and felt I was telling a bit, but I just want him to succeed and changing outside light to LED was his first light bulb change, but he dropped glass cover and it broke, maybe I'm projecting my younger hopeless years onto him because it took a while for me to become productive.
 
Intelli sense again, I started yelling in the kitchen. Then he walked out and I felt bad, but it's a tug of war to get him out the room, he doesn't go out. I've being busy so we need to go kayak and get some sun, but.
I had to tighten reels for him, few areas and tighten wiring....we concluded the owner installed this fence that never used but it's waste of money with many security flaws.... However it can be switched on when I need it, and it keeps most off the property.
I didn't want to go to Cape town, so expensive and I want my dad to spend more time but he's real tyrant and turn my boys into Austrian racists. But he's good fixing, but painstaking. I removed as child having to hold things while he worked on the car, yelling and retrying and clip wouldn't go in. Hours later going to make him coffee.
Also society needling, nosy neighbours about homeschooling, unwanted visits to inspect home school papers and rat race. Na, Cape is just too awful.
