This is my typical pencil grip--

Needless to say, with my fingers actually bent backward and having to grab the pencil so hard, it's difficult for me to write for a long time. The disability services office at my school actually lets me use a computer word processor (without any of the frills--no spell check or anything like that) to type up essay tests.
SAME AS ME!! ! my fingers just don't bend back as far as yours, as my joints are inflexible. but you can see how tightly i am gripping it (my knuckles are white too), just like you. neat! i have never seen another person do that IRL.
Ditto. I also write with the paper against my chest, and write from my chest out, perpendicular to my body.
