Every child with Asperger's is different, and can exhibit different symptoms. Many children with Asperger's have trouble with coordination, body language etc., but again, they are all unique.
Dyspraxia (Gross Motor Discoordination) is a common associated condition ('comorbid') of Asperger's, and can involve both Ideational dyspraxia - where a person finds it extra-challenging to plan a sequence of coordinated movements and Ideo-Motor dyspraxia - where a person finds it extra challenging to execute a plan, even though the plan is known ahead of time.
Perhaps up to 30% of people on the Autism Spectrum may be affected.
Careful observation/assessment/diagnosis is important, followed by paediatric physiotherapy interventions over several years. The physio should be able to set FUN tasks for children to do at home. A little testing of balance, eye-to-hand coordination, and cross-body function (e.g. using scissors to cut-out a circle) will give parents the confidence to persevere as the results can end up somewhere between marked and incredible. Parents can augment the incredible inroads that can be made into reducing this 'clumsiness' by encouraging their children to trampoline, play haki sak, table tennis, skateboard, cycle, rock-climb with harness, etc. to improve the operation of their cerebellum. There are spin-off benefits from all this in other areas of such children's lives such as multi-tasking (a little), meeting/greeting, eye contact rhythms, etc.
