    as a fellow autism i must ask what the actual fuck is up with your handwritting, this is like the level i was at when iI was 6 I assume you're not 6 years old, my handwritting has only improved with time, what the hell are you doing?!

    My son wrote like this too until he went to occupational therapy. Apparently he had a hand grip strength significantly lower than that of his peers. After he built up strength and practiced hand-eye coordination (as well as penmanship), his writing now is still quirky but readable by anyone. Huge improvement!

    OP definitely needs occupational therapy too

    It’s called dysgraphia it is a neurological condition and learning disability in which someone has difficulty with writing for their age level. My sister has it and she has adhd and possibly autism. I’m not 100% but I think it’s common in people with learning disabilities.

    parent root
    16 points bloodfist

    I have ADHD and have mild dysgraphia. Fine motor skills are tough for me. But only some and while the difference seems obvious to me, it always confuses people that so.e aren't.

    Writing is so hard, guitar is extra difficult, typing and piano are not really a problem.The more I have to take a shape or complex pattern in my head and translate it through my hands, the harder it is. Writing is probably especially hard because it was such a fight for me as a kid with adults who thought I should just fix it.

    But I will say that like my dyspraxia (full-body clumsiness), it has gotten better with practice and age. My handwriting still sucks but if I really want to get better at something I can work hard at it and get to an intermediate level, so better than most.

    The dyspraxia pretty much went away after doing martial arts for over a decade. The dysgraphia didn't but I've gotten a lot better at knowing how to practice things efficiently so I feel like if I really dedicated myself to working on it for like ten years I could achieve better-than-average-handwriting.

    But I don't want to.

    As an autism my handwriting is quite fucked, I get distracted, regularly lose my grip on the pen, misspell, stims in my hands do their thing to contribute etc.

    I score highly academically but if we were way back when and they marked a written piece rather than a typed piece they'd probably diagnose me with a learning disability. My handwriting has actually gotten worse with age due to regression and joint issues in my hands from chronic stims that have done a number on my joints and muscles.

    Its the whole - can't judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree thing

    8 points No_Week_8937

    I have similar issues with writing, but from a connective tissue issue (plus what's almost certainly autism.) It's not super obvious, unless I haven't been writing recently. If I start handwriting things again after a while of not doing it then my handwriting is kinda awful.

    Need a few days of handwriting before it gets back to a good state, and at least a week before I can write nicely again at any kind of speed.

    I will say that all-caps writing helps. It tends to end up being easier to read, even on bad days.

    I too am a fellow autism. My handwriting isn’t the neatest but I can stay in the lines! It might have been due to piano and drawing from an early age. My fine motor skills really suck in other areas though, it seems like it’s not always transferable.

    12 points BottleFeathers703

    luckily i can! when i write it kinda feels like the words crash into each other in my brain when i write so it just kinda makes these messes that don’t really look like cohesive words anymore and more like a bizarre fusion of nonsense. basically my brain is moving so fast that it makes my words jumbled and wrong and my hand and motor skills cant keep up. when i practice neater handwriting i have to actually slow my thoughts down and focus extremely hard on each letter so that my hand and brain can cooperate a bit better. sometimes my hand doesn’t know what to do once the thought has surpassed it to the next words so it just starts scribbling thinking it’s writing

    It's possible this strays into dysgraphia as some suggest, it tends to be comorbid with Autism. Dunno if you've been diagnosed with any comorbidities.

    But I also think people can be kinda shocked at just how much of a grab bag Autism symptoms and their severity is.

    I hate how much unintended damage framing Autism as this linear spectrum has done. I really think its why so many people can't understand how a "functional" person can be so unskilled in a particular area (or multiple areas).

    Autism is an umbrella term for a set of symptoms or behaviours, but it's a descriptive term rather than a specific disease. People with autism often have a range of other symptoms like ADHD, dyslexia, and (in OP's case, probably) dysgraphia. It's kind of pot luck, and one person's experience of autism might be absurdly different to someone else's.
