Mine is a mess. Is it an AS thing? My printing sucks, my cursive sucks. I've been told I write worse than a doctor... even I don't sign my name very legibly. I think i used computers so much growing up and did less and less writing by hand, and that contributed to it, but it really was never very good to begin with, neither printing or cursive.

Exact same here. My printing resembles nasty cursive, and I caint write or read cursive. Good thing my fiance worked for a year in a pharmacy or he'd never know what I was writing.

My cursive is 9000% illegible.

My printing/block letters on the other hand, is alright.

I can't do cursive very well either, so my writing is mostly print which makes it look childish and immature. My writing tends to go all over the place aswell. Left slanted, right slanted, on the line, off the line, capital 'S' instead of small 's', letters not same height, spaces too big/small etc.

It was one of those things that my teachers were always going on at me about, and as a result, I'm very embarrassed by my writing.

I am very poor at writing. If I take my time and only write/print short bits of text, I can sometimes draw nice enough looking letters, but I have no writing fluency, and attempts to produce work of any length in a reasonable time frame quickly disintegrate into illegibility.

My hand goes into spasm when writing. The spasm seems to start in the base of the thumb, as the thumb is turned in towards the palm for handwriting.

My cursive (full-time cursive writer since the third grade) starts nice, but after a while, my hand grips the pencil tighter and the pressure I put down on the paper makes the writing become very bold and messy.

Do not get me started with writing on a whiteboard. I cannot do it for s***.

My printing is mostly legible, but looks a third grader's. I don't usually write in cursive, but that looks like a second grader's. Even when I slow it down, it still pretty much turns out looking the same.

I always print except for signatures. My handwriting's not beautiful, but it's legible at least 95% of the time.

I also always print except for my signature. My cursive writing is basically legible but the printing is easier to read.

Even though I have NLD, I have very nice handwriting. A couple of weeks ago, my teacher said she absolutely loved it.

My handwriting is TINY.

My school forced me to type everything or write using that 1st grade paper kids learn to write with.

And now that I'm out of that school, I'm kind of "out of practice" and my handwriting is awful and varies in size.

I do not know how to write in cursive and can't read it very well.

My writing is awful. My teachers sometimes even try to get me to type my work (which is easier). It feels like my mind is going faster than my pencil can write, but I can keep up with typing. At times, even I can't understand it.
I can't bring a laptop to class, so I'm stuck with writing on paper, except for homework.

I was told I have man hand writing earlier this year. I never did have good handwriting. I suppose I write like I was still in middle school.

Pretty good. People compliment me on my handwriting... well, except for the very few who think it's illegible.
