What “normal” thing can’t you do?

[Soubriquet]

I can’t click my fingers. I’ve tried many years but I can’t click.

I can whistle. Not very well but I can.

I cannot touch my toes without bending my knees. Never been able to

I can't lay on my front and prop up on my elbows to read a book or rest my chin on my hands. Gives me a headache and makes me feel swimmy.

Use a tin opener. I would starve if forced to live in a post apocalyptic bunker.

Sing . Park any way other than straight in

Crack an egg without splitting it.

• Drive
• Sing
• Swim any stroke other than breaststroke
• French plait hair
• Follow manuals/instructions that are only diagrams and not words

There's probably loads more but those are the ones that spring to mind

Maths
juggle or two ball
remember the rules of card games
tell the time (not without a lot of muttering and counting)

BUT I can now make perfect rice in the microwave thingy.

Look at a clock/watch and instantly know the time. I can work it out if I really take the time to think about which hand is which.

I don't wear a watch now but I did when I was younger and I used to dread people asking me the time. I'd say oh my watch needs a new battery and then look at my phone

Drive.

Use a drill.
Can't get the strength in my shoulder to drill straight into the wall.
Given up trying!

drive, cut pizza or meat with a knife (I use the kitchen scissors)

I would love to be able to do all those things, plus swing on monkey bars, but I have never been able to!

I forgot, I cannot hula with a hoop! I have tried so hard, but have never been able to make it circle more than twice!

I can't wink. When I try it looks like I'm having a stroke

Cross my eyes
Spit
Whistle
Drive
Catch a ball…

Can't swim. Afraid of open water/pools.
Can't twist open a bottle or turn on a tap with my right hand (I'm righthanded too!)
Can't read a map. Choice of driving or navigating? Driving every time.

Do a handstand or cart wheel !

Use an escalator… I just freeze and can’t step on

Cook an omlette
Touch my toes
Despite climbing, I can't do monkey bars
Count music
Tell when something is level (like shelves, picture frames)
Keep plants alive

I can't use my new hoover. No idea how to charge it, empty it, hang it up, work out all the stupid little attachments. I HATE it.

Apparently, I can no longer speak in a group (unless asked direct questions). I feel comfortable only with one person at a time.

Whistle

maths (I still use my fingers to do maths sums)

didn't learn to tie my shoe laces until I was about 11

don't hold my pen correctly. I know how to but my way is more comfortable for me

read analogue clocks

can't stick to diets either!

Tell my left and right (instantly)

I can't click my fingers either

Some of these are just downright weird 😂

I can't roll my R's. I was chatting to a speech therapist a few years ago and she said I had an anterior tongue tie so I couldn't put my tongue in the right place for R-rolling.

I also can't roll my tongue
