Yeah I recall Dr. Barkley or someone saying something about awareness of oneself in space in relation to other things or something like that. I bump into door frames way more often than is normal for no reason whatsoever.
Not saying you do or don't (not qualified) but... That's got to be one of the most ADHD things I've heard :)
I don't remember if nervous habits are typical (besides, like, bouncing your leg or stuff like that) but I know I have similar quirks.
If they're trying stimulant medication it sounds like a "likely" or at least "maybe"? Best wishes.
