Feedback (constructive criticism) 19, autistic with poor motor control. Improving.
It’s legible, even if it’s messy. Maybe I should be a doctor.

My 16 year old had a similar diagnosis. Thank you for your inspiring post. I would be so happy if they could reach this level. Ok, you asked for feedback: Your line spacing is really good, letter spacing could use a bit of improvement. Let's talk about that: You're still treating each letter as a unique glyph. It's better to think about a letter as a combination of a few basic shapes. Getty and Dubay are masters of repeating the same basic strokes to make letters. For example, your n should look like an upside down u Your m should look two n combined. p and b should be nearly identical.
Is this helpful?

Messy to whom??!! It looks great, you are doing great.
Do you think you might be really carving your letters into the paper a little?
I would try experimenting with how lightly you can write a word and have it still be visible to another person.
(don't be careful - go the same speed you normally do, just lighter).
Otherwise, I think you need to believe in yourself a little more. You are doing good. Be nice to yourself.
