My handwriting was so consistently bad, I abandoned it late in high school (1982) and went to printing. Soon, that became almost unreadable so i went to writing in all caps. I am very thankful to keyboards now.

| Personally, I suspect that I have mild dysgraphia, since my writing is awful - I write slowly, it is difficult to read and I must pay a significant attention to it, otherwise there would be large amount of left out, or mixed letters, font and capitalization inconsistencies, etc.....While it did not pose a significant problem throughout the highschool, in college, I bring my lap top with me; typing is much more easier to me. In written tests, however, I am pretty much limited by my speed of writing..... |

| I write compulsively in journals, so my cursive writing is really neat looking and uniform. I still think it's somewhat ugly (like, it's sort of rigid and geometric as opposed to sleek and elegant) But I consciously try to improve it every so often. Thusfar people have told me they like how it looks but can't really read it. |

| I did not bother to read most of the thread, however I can say my handwriting is atrocious. It's gotten me mocked my whole life. Before I came to the conclusion that I might have ASD I thought I might have Dysgraphia. |

Inconsistent.
I realised the other day that I don't join up my letters, except for "re" (no idea why I only join those two). I normally start off a paragraph trying to write in a large, legible style, but find that my writing gets smaller and smaller until I've reverted back to my tiny, cramped style. |

| Actually, my handwriting is pretty neat. If I rush, it looks slightly messy, but is still perfectly legible. People tell me all the time how neat my writing is. |

Mine is horrible. But then, I've got motor dysgraphia, which also means it hurts to write by hand.

I have 2 writing styles. If I take my time and really concentrate, it can be very nice. Birthday cards and letters to school are always neat. But, my natural handwriting is not good. I don't even think the letters form naturally at all and joined up writing is not easy for me. I often have to go over bits to complete letters that haven't been formed correctly, so that I can read it myself.
My husband, who is definitely BAP, but would not meet the criteria for AS, has terrible handwriting. It's really illegible and, if he writes a card, he usually makes a mistake and it looks awful. He's unable to make his look neat, whereas I can. I would say he has undiagnosed dysgraphia (as well as undiagnosed dyslexia). He holds a pen weirdly too, with his thumb and first 2 fingers like a pincer, not with the pen resting on his middle finger, the way most people do.
Our daughter has the best handwriting in her class and, of the 3 of us, she's the one with the most obvious ASD. Her teacher told me that her writing was so beautiful that it made her feel quite emotional.  My Mum, who I suspect as being on the spectrum too, used to win school prizes for her handwriting (it's like calligraphy).

| Mine looks pretty much the same way it did when I was seven. Mostly because I avoid writing by hand whenever possible, because it hurts my fingers. |

I can write quite well.
Sucked to begin with due to being unable to hold a pencil correctly, but those slip on polygon thingies helped that. |

| I have about 5 different ways I hold a pen, but my handwriting always turns out pretty much the same. |

Well, it was always bad. But now throw in arthritis starting in hands, I believe I fit Asperger's description of our writing thusly: ATROCIOUS.
Thank God for my PC!
Sincerely,

I'm really intrigued by handwriting, it's so unique. I wonder whether there is anything in graphology.  I like watching people write aswell, that probably sounds a bit strange. 
If you can't read my writing, basically it's quite inconsistent but usually quite messy
