I was diagnosed with autism at 4yo and it was hidden from me and not treated so it wouldn't "hold me back"

I used to be ambidextrous as a kid and when one hand got sore writing I’d flip to the other. I think that makes good sense, but teachers made me only use my right hand. 🙄

if it is so prevalent, then why is it divergent?

Me and my husband are lefties. Our daughter is two and is definitely showing a preference for the left hand!

In 1990, I was the only left handed kid in my kindergarten class. I was taught to right only with my right hand. I can be ambidextrous but I shouldn’t have been forced to develop that skill.

Teachers used to smack my hand when I used my left hand. I was told left handed people were children of the devil.

My grandpa was left handed but forced to write with his non-dominant hand in school. It took him 4x longer to write things.

Becoming ambidextrous was another form of masking. We adapt to fit the world because the world doesn't fit us, but then we spend our whole lives struggling and stressed and feeling like outsiders.

I’m left-handed and I remember my mother telling my teachers to never stop me from using my left hand. I had one teacher refuse to teach me penmanship because of this. I had to figure it out myself.

I've always been 1000% convinced my little sister should have been left-handed. As a child she didn't understand how to hold silverware properly and she was forced to learn. As an adult

I got my diagnosis at 54, & when I told the testing psych I wish I'd had help earlier, she said, "you were female, obedient, & even though it killed you, your grades were good enough¹

My dad grew up going to a Catholic school and the nuns would beat him because he would keep using his left hand. Irony is its the neatest handwriting
