This is a common problem with both AS and NTs.

I have difficulty when someone's handwriting does not come across as legible print or cursive that is sufficiently similar to what I learned in school.

As much as I like computers and typewriters, I feel we are really doing this generation wrong by not mandating standards in handwriting and printing legibility. I have a boss whose handwriting might as well be in another language. Hardly anyone but him can read it, and he knows there is no excuse for it.

I am old enough to have been taught (and graded on) handwriting. I have dysgraphia. no matter how hard i try, my handwriting is hard to read. I am so glad my work uses typed documentation.

I cant read cursive writing unless its done really well but I can read most peoples printing other than my own. my handwriting is barely legible and unless I write really really slow I cant even read it.

My handwriting isn't that good at all but gets better if I use a really sharp pencil.

It's hard for me now, but I used to be good at it when I worked at the hospital. At first I couldn't read hardly any doctor's handwriting but over time it got a lot easier. We did have one doctor who had the prettiest and neatest handwriting though. Everybody commented on it.
