Well, I recently discovered the reason why I've had social skill problems my whole life....I'm an Aspie.  My brother has Autism so I never suspected that I may be on the Autistic spectrum too.

Nevertheless, has anyone ever developed Dyspraxic type symptoms while under stressful conditions?  For example, during my final year of my undergrad studies, and currenlty while in my final year of grad school, I'm having pronunciation and motor skill problems.  I even started going to speech therapy to figure out why I'm having trouble with my intonation.  So, has anyone else who has Asperger's Syndrome experienced similar problems?  Also, is there some connection between Dyspraxia and ASD?
Verbal Apraxia, Oral Motor Apraxia and such isn't uncommon in individuals on the Autism Spectrum but they are often a comorbid issue.

Thank you for your response.  This information has inspired me to do more research on apraxia and other comorbid issues.
