can anyone relate to this?

My husband just asked if Chiari is a forgein(Sp) word for klutz....he is just asking....in a joking manner...

I have a habit of hitting my head and knocking myself out or falling down...in general....hurting myself in the most unusual ways.... and example of this is: I was
Spray painting furniture in our garage- I picked it up to move it and it was too close to the wall and it bounced off of it and smacked me in the head...

any other crazy stories like this out there... My family calls the crazy things I do "Gracisims" and they are writing them all down...

Thanks everyone- I am glad that I am not the only one that can poke fun at the crazy things that happens.. The funniest thing to date though- a bottle of furniture polish broke and I emptied it into a conditioner bottle- forgetting to label it- and forgetting what it actually was- I put it in the shower.....
My mom had the most glossy hair ever- It took her over two weeks to get her hair back to normal.....

I'm just like you all! Sometime I my mother tells me to be carefull of the moving doorways or to the desing in the floor tiles. I sime time fall for no reason at all and it almost always on my back. I even had and accident with a parked car while walking LOL. When I walk with my husband he says that I'm trying to push him underneat incoming cars because I keep bumping in him, but he wont let me walk on the side of the street :-) . But all this clumsiness as been ruled as part of my asperger! Maybe it more than that after all! LOL

I am the same way. It's a rare occasion for me to passthrough a door way or pass by a table (or most objects for that matter) and not hit them. I too have bruises up and down my legs and arms and my husband has said on several occasions "I swear people are going to start thinking I hit you". I've actually had an er dr (I went to the er cause I had fell and spranged my ankle) make Keith (My husband) leave the room and start in on spousal abuse because of the bruises.

sandy629 - I had a friend who was a paraplegic in the process of rehabing.  He had a special card he carried that said he wasn't drunk.  Of course that didn't stop him from getting a ticket from the campus police for "speeding" with his wheel chair ;)

I tell ya if there's a way I can run into, trip over, fall on something I will.  Door ways have a magic pull for me.  I think my body must knock into them - like a magnet or something.  

I think I was put on Earth by God to amuse people, like a walking blooper reel. I knew my husband was "the One" when I relized he'd taken to watching out for me and being sure I didn't trip and fall - even on smooth surfaces.

I like the idea of "Gracisims".  I'm glad they understand your condition too.

I run into door frames regularly.  It's like I see where the door frame is, but I judge wrong and step too far to the left/right.  My legs also have so many bruises on them my boyfriend says he's afraid of what people will think!  I never get knocked out though, so it's OK.  Pretty funny actually.

I was a dancer and everyone called me the most graceful clutz because I always always always fell (now I know they were drop attacks) but I also manage to hit my head on everything especially right where I had surgery I swear they put a magnet in there!! :) kidding but I am "accident prone" for sure

  Austrian pathologist, Hans Chiari, first described these hindbrain malformations in the 1890s. A colleague of Professor Chiari, Dr. Julius Arnold, later contributed to the definition of the condition, and students of Dr. Arnold (Schwalbe and Gredig) suggested the term "Arnold-Chiari malformation" to henceforth refer to the condition.
