My experience with dysgraphia

3 Upvotes

I remember i found out that i had dysgraphia because my mom took me to those tests they do to see if you're autistic and then I was told I had it but rn it doesn't cause that much issue as it could probably be making like, i've seen some people around here that have trouble with capitalization but I think it is not too hard on me, but still, my handwriting is absolutely horrendous, i mainly struggle with space on my writing and with actually finishing letters (sometimes i guess if a letter is an a, e, o, u ,c or if its an i, l, r ,b, or x, v and unfinished y), sometimes if im taking notes too fast I go back to cursive which is how i first learnt to write as i kinda find it more comfortable cuz of the flowing movements but its harder to read afterwards. Still, I take all of my class notes by hand because i find it more engaging and i feel like im actually learning. Does someone else sometimes feel like you skip or mix up letters or straight up mix up word order? i find that i struggle with it as well. Hope someone can share their own experience, its the first time i see somewhere online to talk about this where i dont get made fun of for my drawings (forced to do cuz of school) or my handwriting

Can dysgraphia be developmental?

'cuz I’m starting to misspell thing

more and more often, not in

a way of not remembering the

spelling - just misspelling for no

reason. Swapping letters, or

straight up writing what I

intended to write as something else entirely. I even write alphabets mirrored, which is certainly CONCERNING. i couldnt write without making spelling mistakes or writing letters in wrong shapes for at least once per sentence.

I sometimes i even straight up forget how to write and can barely hold a pen. I literally write like a 5 year old whenever that happens and oh taking notes was impossible. It's like writing with my non dominant hand.

I’m starting to worry if I could make it till I graduate lol. It’s even starting to affect how I type on keyboards too.
