How is your handwriting?

Adequate.

My writing was made by one of those little-slip on plastic polygon thingies that aid you in holding the pencil/pen correctly. Before that, I grabbed it with a monkey grip (my writing wasn't that good around this time).

awful,
was sent to a specialist as a kid but it didn't help,
perhaps it is an aspie thing because i can draw really good and was an A student which means it is not coordination or perception problem,it maybe a problem with the concept of words since many of use tend to speak very little/

Mine looks like a spider has crawled our of the inkwell and walked drunkenly across the page.

I could be a doctor. I always print. The only time I use cirsive is when I have to sign something. I also have trubble reading cursive writting.

My handwriting is barely legible. Its gonna better though.

I'm generally the only person who knows how to read my writing. Thats why I prefer computers.

I write with capital letters, otherway it is hard to read my handwriting.

bad....

After 24 years, my handwriting is just about legible now (when I write in print). I know what my problem is - weak muscles, or rather, poor fine motor control and limp muscles that force me to grip the pen/pencil extremely tightly in a very awkward and strange grip right near the nib if I'm to have any control. According to my most recent report (from about 2 years ago), I show 'Dyspraxic tendencies' although I do not have a full Dyspraxia dx at this time. My pencil grip is, however, identical to that of a friend of mine who has a dx of Dyspraxia. Although I can write legibly now, I can only do so for a few minutes... after that, I start to get pressure blisters and the painfulness of the grip makes my writing become a scrawl that a 6-year-old might be proud of.

^wow tails, i can relate to that. i think i have some mild form of dyspraxia. but i always hold the pencil too tightly and by the nib.

same here.

apart from that my writing can be hard for others to decipher because I can't be bothered with writing full letters most times, like "j" and "y" will look the same, so do "r" and "z", "a" and "o".

after a few pages of note-taking it looks like a totall mess and most letters are indescernible.

I always had to type my notes on a computer after lectures, while I still remembered what I'd written, otherwise I wouldn't have a clue myself.

Mine's messier than most people's, but it's still legible. I'm one of the few people I know who consistently writes in cursive. I hate printing. I only print when I have to write really small, because my cursive is big for some reason.

My handwriting is crappy as hell. I guess it's because I'm the son of a doctor. In school they try to make you write neatly. But name one famous scientist, physicist, philosopher, astronomer, or mathematician who had neat handwriting.

my handwriting is rubbish, i can barely read it sometimes. at school, if one letter was written slightly lighter than any of the other, i would go back over it repeatedly until i'd nearly cut through the page. it used to really baffle the teachers i think. anyway, thank god for keyboards - i just wish i could type faster.

Good point

Mine is quite nice to look at, but very hard to actually read.

The main thing about it is it's very distinctive. Nobody ever mistakes my writing for anyone else's. I've been told it's something like a classic copperplate script, but with my own individual touch.

I like my handwriting but there is not much people that feels comfortable reading it. I've trained a lot to get a good looking writing, I was 20 yo and I was still having lessons on this topic...lol. I compare now what I write and what most people write and I think my handwriting is better. But very old stile.
