Statistically significant discrepancy

How can  a significantly significant discrepancy between verbal and performance IQ even though both scores are very respectable lead to a lifetime of clumsiness and under performance?  Could it be explained by sensory difficulties?

A less than optimal childhood environment didn't help and probably a concious choice of the nurturing rather than the external world contributed as well.

ADHD musings

Problems I experience daily:

• burning the toast and sometimes the actual grill
• flooding the kitchen, the utility and sometimes the bathroom (a bit more serious that one, water travels down the light fitting.)
• having to heat up my coffee a zillion times as I forget about it and it cools and I heat it up and it cools 

I have now realised with ridiculous astonishment that I can keep myself there while the toast grills or the sink fills  by ......................doing the dishwasher or brushing the floor, who knew?

The coffee though still defeats me so any suggestions very welcome.
