Yeah... my cursive handwriting was awful, so I only write in print letters now. Except I leave big spaces in the middle of words and things. 
My writing is really small though, apparently it's a concentration thing. And the harder you concentrate, the smaller your writing gets.

| My professor told me I have the worst handwriting in the class...Quite an accomplishment! This might be because I'm left-handed, though. I worry sometimes because I'm majoring in Education, so my future students might not be able to read my handwriting. |

I actually got a diagnosis for it a bit before 6th grade, it's called Dysgraphia(probably spelled wrong), and IS an actual thing. It basically means that my handwriting will always be illegible, and, even if I slow down and take my time, will still be ugly and hard to read.
I am excellent at doing math as well as composing intuitive essays for english class, as are many Aspies and people with 'high functioning autism' but my handwriting has always proved a huge challenge for me.
All my teachers know about my dysgraphia and my AS from doctors notes, but few of them understand what they mean. I sound like I'm making excuses when I try to explain to them that I can't help my poor handwriting, and that I have organizational challenges due to my AS and they may need to occasionally give me a little leeway if I forget a book in my locker or my homework at home. If it wasn't for the doctor's note, they probably wouldn't even believe me.
I've made immense progress in my homework ethic and even gotten past many of my social difficulties as an Aspie, so my teachers assume that the doctor's note must be over exaggerated. They tell me to print neater, but they don't understand that I can't. As you can imagine, many of my peers and even many of my friends do not understand my horrible handwriting either, so they often joke about it good naturedly but it still hurts even though I know they don't mean to hurt me.
This eccentricity definitally affects me just as much, if not more so, than my AS diagnosis.
Sorry about my rant, it seems so insignificant. But so many people take their legible handwritting for granted, but this is a very difficult part of my life.
Does anyone else have or have heard of Dysgraphia here? |
I used to have very good handwriting when I was younger, when I wrote really slowly. Now I am constantly writing quick because of the teachers who give you notes at 1000000 miles a mintue. Most of the kids can barley keep up. If I write slowly now, it's decent you can read it without so much problem but still not the greatest. Cursive (w/e it's spelt) forget about it! |

My writing is messy, but probably not as messy as a lot of people in this forum.
I can writer neater if I write slower, but even then it's not perfect. |

| I was supposed to skip third grade, but they wouldn't let me for one reason only: my penmenship. I wound up actually having to transfer because I was so wild having Asperger's(unknown at the time) and ADHD(Diagnosed), that all the third grade teachers at that school refused to teach me. |

Prepare yourselves...
Here is a sample of my handwriting. It's the notes I took thursday in my US history class. They are written about as neatly as I am capable of, even while writing slowly. I stayed on the line suprizingly better than I usually do, but I still do my usual print/cursive mix. And none of the letters take up 2 to 3 lines each, which is a rare thing as well!
Anyway... here they are:
 It's still pretty bad. ): |

| I have the same problem. In fact, the resource department at my school has given me an alphasmart. It's like a word processor, although I usually describe it as a digital type writer. I use it for everything just because my hand writing is so bad, except for math for which I use graph paper. Teachers love it because it only does word processing, so my teachers don't have to be afraid of me playing a game in class unlike a laptop which teachers would constantly be checking over your shoulder just to make sure your not playing a game or surfing the internet. I have always had bad handwriting and I've become a great typist partially because of this. I would prefer not to have one and just have good handwriting, but this does the job fine. |

I have always had poor hand writing, didn't no it was called dysgraphia, my signature is never the same, but I use to be very good at drawing pictures freehand, but I haven't done it in years
Jaejoongfangirl, I was looking at that handwriting sample, its not as bad as some doctors, I had heard somewhere that instead writing fast try slowing down, and use print instead, has anyone tried that?
