I've seen on a few websites that aspies tend to have poorer handwriting than neurotypical people.
Personally, I have handwriting that's a bit messy, as the letters don't look the same.

How's your handwriting?

I was always told I have very tidy and easy to read handwriting. However, that might be because my fine motor skills actually aren't even bad, otherwise I wouldn't be drawing or playing instruments. :lol:

As I was in elementary school my teacher already complimented me on my clean writing.

My gross motor skills are worse.

Mine is not great. I have excellent fine motor skills, so that doesn't explain it. If I try to write nicely, I can, but not when I write naturally.

If I am writing slowly and carefully, it's fine. Otherwise, it's messy.

Was forced to use right hand. Went to a religious preschool. Parents ultra conservative and thought lefties were of Satan.

Writing is compromised as a result. I love typing.

My handwriting always sucked but after all the practice I got in university it’s now legible. If I take my time I can write very neat but I don't usually.

My GP however writes in some sort of cryptic characters that only pharmacists seem to be able to decipher. I wouldn’t want to be a pharmacist but I’d like to take the cryptography course in pharmacy school.

Mine is pretty rubbish. On the whole it's just readable, some works you can't read at all. I often can't read my own writing. The words tend to run together and I tend to write joined up so most of the words are joined together too.

Mine sucks. Hardly readable. I never could learn it, so at last I turned my back on "nice handstyle".
I mostly write capital letters.

My handwriting sucks. It's readable, but I mess up often and I have to use an eraser about every 2 seconds (or scratch a lot of stuff out if I'm using a pen, which I hate doing). If I didn't do that then nobody could ever read it. I also despise the act of writing, which is why I type instead whenever possible.

My mum says that my handwriting is beautiful, but I'm slow at it. I'm also slow at printing-writing, but I am quite fast at typing for some reason.

Mine looks quite similar to this when I write at my normal size, though it's usually too small for others to read. It gets really messy when I try to write quickly.

I get to use a computer for exams. :)

They help so much, helps me express myself better, not to sure whether I should admit this but I've probably spent more of my life typing on a keyboard than writing using a pen, lol. I draw, but usually that involves trippy writing rather than casual XD
