I'm left-handed but mostly right-footed.

I don't think handedness doesn't necessarily tell which side of the brain your coordination comes from, sometimes it can come from the same side.

Yes, I'm left-handed, and there is hardly any incidence of left-handedness in my family. I do suspect that there's a link between my case of left-handedness and my AS.

I have allways linked the left hand issue to also include the way I percept the world. I often opposing to what the general ppl seems to know is right. But that was before I found out about AS. Now I link it to the AS, but then again there is lots of lefty's who is non AS. I don't think that anyone can establish any solid evidence for neither left or right handed. Think that's a mystery in itself. The Bible even mention left handers, some place in the old testament, regarding to war.

i am ambidextrous.
i write slightly faster with my right hand and slightly neater with my left.


here is a quick test to determine the ambidextrosity of people.

pretend you are pedaling a bicycle that is upside down in your garage with your hands on the foot pedals (while you are behind the bike).

both of your arms work in unison and travel in the same circular direction in that scenario.

but imagine one hand had to crank the pedals forward, and one had to crank the pedals in reverse at the same time.

ie 2 opposing circles.

only people with ambidextrous ability can do that easily.

trace the idea in the air with your hands, and you will see it is very hard for most people to do.

I'm a lefty.

There's not supposed to be a diff in handedness for AS/autism... yet somehow, NLVDs aren't supposed to be left-handed very often.
