Left handedness

Post Reply New Topic

My husband is aspie and left handed, Im left handed and slowly realising Im aspie too, quite strng in fact.
My 5 year old son is learning to write with his right hand but is showing signs of being aspie already. I was relieved to see him drawing with his right hand thinking he was not affected, but its not that cut and dried is it?

To the left, to the left topic

My Aspie father was ambi. IC^^--two parents both left and your child is right handed.

I know a family in which the two parents are lefties and four of the seven children are also left handed. But no AS.

My NT youngest daughter is a lefty.

Right handed here, but 3 out of 5 people in my family are left-handed.

Lefty here!! !! Only one in the family pretty much

Mostly right handed but I do a lot of things the way a right-handed person would, like wearing my watch on the opposite wrist etc. When I was little I could write with both but I've got out of the habit now.

I'm primarily left handed, using my left hand to write and to eat, though there are plenty of other things I alternate hands for. I was delayed in choosing a preferred hand, not settling on my left until I was five or six. When I was a child, it was noted that, although I was left handed, I seemed to otherwise favor the right side of my body. It's hard for me to gauge whether or not this is still the case -- I'm not very conscious regarding direction (probable NLD as well as Asperger's).
I'm the only left-handed person in my family. My Dad most likely also has AS, and he's right handed.

I understand that concept.
When I did go shooting with family who did I used pistol in my natural left hand but rifle and shotgun right handed - did NOT want hot powder casing ejected across my face
Golf right, putt either way.
Bat right (I think, been awhile), pitch left.

Have to swap hands frequently when flying single-line kites as there are problems with my hands and I can only hold on against the pull for so long.
If wind is good, will often stake the line and not have to hold on at all.

Between parents, grandparents, my brother, I'm the one lefty.

Now this is interesting, when on computer, even though I'm left handed and that is the "precise" hand when making models, or drawing, I use mouse right handed.
Something in my brain doesn't feel right when mousing left handed. And it's difficult for me to coordinate the mouse left handed.
Go figure

I'm left handed and diagnosed with AS. My mom is lefthanded and NT. Dad is right handed and NT.

I'm an aspie, but I'm not sure if I'm left handed, right handed, ambidextrous, or just weird. My right arm and hand are used for power, and my left for precision I guess. I write, draw, and eat left handed. I throw, lift, push, etc. with my right. When fighting I use my left arm for quick strikes, and block with my right, but when not blocking I throw power hits with my right. I'm really not sure, but I suppose I'm left-handed.

My AS mind start noticing a pattern in that...
