I know there are NTs who visit this site and I would please ask any NT not to vote in this survey. I have a theory on handedness in individuals with ASD/Aspergers. So left and right handedness are pretty self explanatory. Ambidextrous means you are equally comfortable using either hand in all tasks. Mix handedness is something I can describe in the context of myself. I write, throw almost everything, use a fork, lift things up, etc. with my left hand. There are a couple of things I use my right hand for; playing an instrument, throwing a Frisbee. In those tasks my left hand feels as foreign to me as my right does in most tasks. The only thing I would be ambidextrous in is playing tennis; although I strongly favor my left. So I'm mostly left handed but a little right handed. If you fall into this group choose mixed handedness, (for me mixed handedness, dominant left).
A definition of cross handedness/mixed handedness from wikipedia:
"Cross-dominance, also known as mixed-handedness, or mixed dominance, is a motor skill manifestation in which a person favors one hand for some tasks and the other hand for others. ... It can also refer to mixed laterality, which refers to a person favoring eyes, ears, feet, or hands on one side of the body."
A definition of ambidextrous from wikipedia:
"Ambidexterity is the state of being equally adapted in the use of both the left and the right hand, and also in using them at the same time."
If I get enough responses I can run a statistical analysis and see if there is a difference in handedness between NT and ASD/Aspergers handedness.
