What can you do to improve motor skills or how does treatment help?

[Codebox42]

One of the main things I wanna do in my life right now is learn how to manage motor skills, but nobody in real life is willing to teach or show me how to do anything. What are some was one with ADHD can learn or adapt to proper motor skills? And what kind of treatment really helps?

Mindfulness techniques to build situational awareness and physical practice to entrain responses are the only ways I know (from experience) for what's actually attributable to inattention or impulsivity.

Keeping stray thought from (for example) derailing the reach for a doorknob is almost purely a matter of habit; and building the habit is entirely internal work of which most people are completely unconscious: chances that anyone could show you aren't particularly good, because of their utter unawareness of the process they applied, “on autopilot”—unless, of course, you happen to stumble into a sensei from the “wax on, wax off” school!

If I don't remember to ground myself in the immediate, physical present (which has become a habit), I still run into doors (to refer to the same example). The rest is figuring out the details from the generalities picked up seeing others: most, beyond (again, for example) the first time parents press a spoon into one's hands, as a toddler, or being first taught to tie shoes, is filling in the gaps, ourselves, starting with what we observe casually.

Comorbidities with “clumsy” symptoms like ataxia are a completely different matter, that might or might not be affected by medical treatment; but I lack experience to address those, that some others here might have.
