I am left-handed.

All other AS people that I know are also left-handed. That leaves me wondering whether AS and left-handedness are somehow related... :?

I'm right handed or as I called it when I was little "Regular-handed"

I'm right-handed. I'm Aspie. My sister was left-handed. She's NT. She's the only one in my extended family (out of 12 siblings who had kids) who is a leftie. We have lots of Aspies in the tree.

I'd say, mmm, no.

I write right-handed, but I have had to train myself to do everything else right-handed, since for most other things I am left-handed. I still cannot cut food with my right hand, at all, I have to use my left.

Left-handed, I think.

Still not sure. Oh, whatever.

There is said to be connection between left-handedness and neurological disorders, including but not limited to ASDs.

I'm right handed, but thinking about it, I cut food with my left.

I'm supposed to be right-handed, but I had a birth injury. I hit my shoulder while being born and it damaged my shoulder so I had to learn to do things on my left hand. My right hand is more natural, but I can't do anything with it since it won't bend out straight and I have limited motion in my right arm. I taught myself to play hockey and baseball left handed. I find irnoic though because I also played lacrosse and you have to be ambidextrous, and even though, because of my injury, I should be less likely to be ambidextrous in the sport, I picked it quicker than a lot of people on most of my teams.

I am mostly right-handed but I am trying to teach myself how to do more single-handed tasks left-handed so that I could become ambidextrous. That would be way cool :). But...I will always sign and write right-handed. I definitely have AS. Every time I read the symptoms of AS on http://www.aspergersyndrome.org/ I am reminded...yep...every last one of those is me plus quite a few more.

Right-handed for writing and most other things. Ambidextrous for some things such as digging (unless everyone's ambidextrous at that) and I do some things the left-handed way, e.g. eating crisps out the packet, crossing my arms.

I'm right-footed and left-eyed.

Right-handed for writing. Left-handed for catching. Right-handed for eating. Left-handed for ball dribbling.

It's not that I'm ambidextrous, exactly... I have one dominant hand for each task, it's just not the same hand for every task.

On the other hand topic

My youngest daughter is NT and left-handed. I scrawl with my right hand but many tasks are done with the left. I wish I was ambidextrous (or ambisinisterous! :lol: )
