Scissors & Autisim

Post Reply New Topic

I can use scissors with either hand. Was born a leftie, then my parents tried to re-train me (which was common in my country at that time). As a result, I use different hands for different actions. For example, writing and eating with my right hand, but drawing with my left one. And there are some things I can do with either hand. Kind of a weird ambidexter.

I used to hoard all the scissors when I was a kid. Oddly enough I never used them, just hoarded them.

Oh wait. the point of the thread. I can use scissors with either hand.

Dominant hand only.

Just tried to cut a piece of paper just now while standing up with the paper flapping in the air. EZ with the dominant -basically not possible with the other. Made a couple of ragged uncontrolled bites (even that was hard), but can't follow a line on the paper.
