Mine's always been terrible too.

One thing though, after two years of graphic design and really looking at fonts - It's moderately more legible if I try, about 50% of the time.

Mine is particularly bad. I worry about writing on the blackboard if I ever work at a university.

Once, during freshman year, I actually did my Health homework in Japanese Kana just to see what would happen. But my teacher didn't even notice. :lol:
I'm not sure whether that reflects more poorly upon his teaching skills or my consistant illegibility...
Either way it's pretty dang funny. XD

I am about to do my dissertation, comparing speech recognition technology and the use of a word processor for students with AS and dysgraphia. Any additional information about successful use of assistive technology in school to help with writing would be helpful to me!

Thanks :)

Hey! It may not be able to be fixed, but if teachers allow you to use computers to write in class, then it might get a little less frustrating. What do you think?

Yeah... my cursive handwriting was awful, so I only write in print letters now. Except I leave big spaces in the middle of words and things. :roll:

My writing is really small though, apparently it's a concentration thing. And the harder you concentrate, the smaller your writing gets.

My professor told me I have the worst handwriting in the class...Quite an accomplishment! This might be because I'm left-handed, though. I worry sometimes because I'm majoring in Education, so my future students might not be able to read my handwriting.

I actually got a diagnosis for it a bit before 6th grade, it's called Dysgraphia(probably spelled wrong), and IS an actual thing. It basically means that my handwriting will always be illegible, and, even if I slow down and take my time, will still be ugly and hard to read.

I am excellent at doing math as well as composing intuitive essays for english class, as are many Aspies and people with 'high functioning autism' but my handwriting has always proved a huge challenge for me.

All my teachers know about my dysgraphia and my AS from doctors notes, but few of them understand what they mean. I sound like I'm making excuses when I try to explain to them that I can't help my poor handwriting, and that I have organizational challenges due to my AS and they may need to occasionally give me a little leeway if I forget a book in my locker or my homework at home. If it wasn't for the doctor's note, they probably wouldn't even believe me.

I've made immense progress in my homework ethic and even gotten past many of my social difficulties as an Aspie, so my teachers assume that the doctor's note must be over exaggerated. They tell me to print neater, but they don't understand that I can't. As you can imagine, many of my peers and even many of my friends do not understand my horrible handwriting either, so they often joke about it good naturedly but it still hurts even though I know they don't mean to hurt me.

This eccentricity definitally affects me just as much, if not more so, than my AS diagnosis.
Sorry about my rant, it seems so insignificant. But so many people take their legible handwritting for granted, but this is a very difficult part of my life.
Does anyone else have or have heard of Dysgraphia here?


I used to have very good handwriting when I was younger, when I wrote really slowly. Now I am constantly writing quick because of the teachers who give you notes at 1000000 miles a mintue. Most of the kids can barley keep up. If I write slowly now, it's decent you can read it without so much problem but still not the greatest. Cursive (w/e it's spelt) forget about it!
