Mostly right. I use the left hand for a few things (carrying things, using a PC joystick).

Point is, are you left- or righthanded, people tend to swing one way
or the other. Guess if you write with the right one, you`re right handed
and vice versa.

Oh, and by "Switching from one to the other" i mean for example writing
with the left just as easily as the right but maybe you use one of them more

Thank you for voting :)

I can write with either hand, but my right hand is a bit more legible for now.

I use my left hand most of the time, and I use both hands for knitting.

I write and do most other things with my right hand but there's a few things I use both hands for, like carrying things, typing, etc.

I write with my right hand, jerk off with my left.

When efficiency is required I use both. When writing, I predominantly use my right hand.

My right hand dominates. I can do things with my left hand much better than most people can, however.

according to my psychology textbook and my teacher, about 90% of the world population is right handed. This also means that they are somewhat left-brain dominant.

Which brings to mind... if the left brain specializes in creativity and language, and the right specializes in logic and though processing, does this mean a larger percentage of Aspies are left-handed than NT's?

I'll have to interrogate my psych teacher about these questions...

Please do and feel free to post any findings, would appriciate it
i think it might be something there - i`m born lefty btw and because
of that i have learned alot about it, and now i have learned about Aspergers
and some things in behaviour seem to be similar when one describes
these two "things". And i often heard "he`s a little weird, he`s a lefty"
as a small kid, so it made me wonder a little when thinking about it.


"""the left brain specializes in creativity and language, and the right specializes
in logic and thought processing"""

Does that mean that by training both hands/arms/legs so you can do tasks just
as good with both sides, you train your brain into working more effectivly, making
better use of both sides of the brain? That would be something very useful

Born lefty, learned righty, use both now, though I'm a little more legible with the right hand since I was forced to write with it more. I feel more comfy using the left one tho. Everything else is left-hand dominant, including painting.

I thought the right brain was for creativity and language....

I am left-dominant, but there are many things I do equally poorly with both hands.
