Me too, is all I can say. I have slight dyslexia now, not too bad. But my eye-hand coordination problem has been with me all my life, and is not actually worse now than when I was a child. I could not play any sports that took eye-hand coordination, and of course was accused of being anti-social. I could dance very well, and run, but no basketball, croquet, badminton, tennis, golf, archery. Bowling a "D" in college, Archery a "D"....and nasty looks from instructors who thought I was not trying. Always "A" in dance. Would have been an "A" in running if there was track for girls back then.

One really strong cognitive deficit from early years is in playing board or card games. I am ashamed that my grandchildren cannot teach me chess. I am doing pretty well with simple card games, but Bridge has always and always give me a headache, once of the very few sources of headache for me. Unfortunately my first husband and my mother were both bridge champs. I can handle the cards and chess pieces OK but cannot think the thoughts well.
