Are you left or right handed?

[Ezra]

I am very autistic and very right handed.

 

[Dadamen]

For most autistics left brain is stronger than right, but left brain moves right side of the body, so it would be logical that autistics are more right handed.

Extremely right handed.

I think I was supposed to be left-handed, but I distinctly remember not knowing which hand to use when I was learning to write, looking at what the person next to me was doing, and copying them. As a result, I grew up thinking I was right-handed, so some things (like writing) I learned to do with my right hand and so am better at using my right. Other things I naturally do with my left hand, or my left hand is better at. For reflexive reactions involving one hand, I typically use my left.

So overall, even though I use both hands, I don’t consider myself to be ambidextrous because my hands are not equally good/bad at everything, typically one will work better than the other, but it’s not consistent as to which one that will be.

I saw a Youtube video suggesting the same, that autistic people tend toward lefthanded but added Aspergers tend toward righthanded.
Further, Aspergers often have leftsided smile, and opposite for autism.
I have normal control on leftside of face, but I sometimes can't coordinate or instruct movement as well on rightside cheek area.

 

[Hylian]

My right hand is my dominant hand, but I've noticed I can use my left hand quite easily for certain things, and sometimes it feels more natural to.

My brother who's also autistic is mostly left-handed.

Just wonderin. not mentally collecting any data anything to see if there are any correlations...

are you ambidextrous?

I am left handed

 

[Alexej]

I write with my left hand, cup using scissors with my right.
Use a hammer either way but chop wood with the axe in the right.

So I suppose I am ambidextrous

 

[Kit]

Mostly right handed. I write with my right hand, use the computer mouse with right hand, cut with my right hand but I open doors with either hand and I mostly use a knife with my right hand.

 

[CBA83]

I'm left handed, I can write backwards better than forwards with my right hand, but it basically cant write. Right hand scissors. Ambidextrous screwdriver, drill, hammer. My right hand pretty much can't write. I struggle to read my own writing unless I'm in an absolutely perfect mindset, and I might be being optimistic about that even.

 

[LadyS]

Left-handed here. However as a child, was forced to use (at least eat) with my right due to outdated cultural taboos. Now I'm wondering if this forced change and living in a world where most things are made for right-handers is the reason why we have a lot of mental issues

Autism (apart from co-morbids) has many similarities to being left-handed in a right-handed world.

 

[Ronald Zeeman]

I WAS Abidexterous before the stroke, Biggest issue now​

 

[VernalSole1355]

I used to be Ambidextrous, before the school system decided to make me not Ambidextrous. Now I am primarily left handed, but right handed with some things.

 

[watersprite]

Use left hand to write & paint, right hand to use keys and open packets, jars, padlocks, bicycle lock, & for some reason the dials on the radio. Mostly lefty but some right.

 

[Katienator]

Fun fact about me.
I'm left-handed.

 

[Darkkin]

So is 10% of the US population. And like Inigo I am not left hand.

I wasn't trying to "flex".

Basic statistic. My best friend growing up was left handed. My grandpa and oldest niece are left handed. I work with three people who are left handed. It is like eye colour, just something innate. No more, not less.

Not every interaction needs a rebuttal. A fact is a fact. Merely that. Completely neutral.
