Are you lefty or righty?

Left for writing, right for everything else.

I'm not sure what you mean by "too AS even for the AS crowd", but I toyed with the idea of getting my left arm to work as well as my right. I use each for nearly everything anyway. Frankly, it is astounding! Left handed people are fairly rare, at least in the US. 1 in twenty of 50 year olds, and about 1 in 8 for 20 year olds according to wikipedia. My mother is ambidextrous, and favors her left. I am ambidextrous, and favor my right. I can't, for the life of me, understand why ambidextrous people will write a left to right language with their left. But OH WELL. I was toying with learning a right to left language(where left handed would be an ASSET!)! Maybe I'll try to build that up.

It was a joke pertaining to the theory that the right side is connected to the left hemisphere of the brain dealing with logic ect. With this, that you and I and a few others are right handed would mean we are "more AS" than the other. In respects to that theory which is nothing of desired pursuit and likely void.



Me neither, if maybe I was writing the other way I would use my left.

I tried to use my left when I was a kid and failed, eventually I gave up on the project deeming it a useless waste of time as you couldn't read what the hell I was writing.

Left handed

It isn't, really... I'm not THAT clumsy with it, and besides I avoid cutting with scissors.

Oh and it isn't obligatory for Aspies to have a higher percentage of righties because the left hemisphere is supposed to control the right... I read somewhere that the major difference between right and left-handedness was that lefties were just most likely to have their languages centers in their right hemisphere than righties; so someone isn't necessarily artistic, musical or intitutional just because they're left handed.

This is a little off topic, but Isn't the left eye controlled by the right hemisphere??
I remember reading somewhere that people tend to see better with the eye that cooresponds with their dominant hemisphere.
My left eye is very very bad..and I am left handed.....So even though I am right-brained..i also seem to have issues with my right brain

Ambidextrous but my right hand is the most dominant.

A jolly proud lefty.

I'm a righty. I can use my left hand for some things, but not many.

I'm a lefty myself. But I use my right for things like cutting and stuff mainly because I, as well as most of us lefties, have really no choice when it comes to tools. I tried cutting with left-handed scissors, and I didn't like it.

So I wouldn't be surprised if lefties are more ambidexterous than righties. I mean we can (especially at a very young age) learn to use the other hand for some things. I know some kids learn to play sports using both arms, like golf, tennis, baseball, hockey, etc.

I am thinking that Aspies may have a higher proportion of lefties than NTs but that is a guess.

righty, except politically i'm a little left of center...

Lefty

It depends.


Ambi with right leaning. ((Please tell me that makes sense))



There's a general rule to follow for me though.


Importance:


If power>control then left-handed

If control>power then right-handed

Right

I think I was pretty much ambidexterous when I was a child but it just became easier to be right handed so I am now very right handed. That said, I am left handed when it comes to playing arcade games - a youth spent playing left handed on the joystick has stuck rigid with me.

right.
