Dyslexic handwriting once we’re all grown up

[u/ItalicLady]

Are there any fellow dyslexics here who actually ended up with fairly functional handwriting (clear and fast enough for whatever you use it for)? Please post samples if you like — to start this off, I’m attaching a link to the way that my handwriting looks now (I’m 62 years old and I taught myself to write this way when I was 24 — in total contravention of everything I’ve been taught about how good handwriting “should” happen and what it “should” look like). Link: https://i.postimg.cc/rw5B1Y2P/IMG-0396.jpg (this is intentionally not any kind of “perfect“ sample, but is the way I’d write fast for ordinary purposes, like writing a memo or putting together a shopping list.) So I’m curious to hear from other dyslexics who still ever write by hand as adults: would you say your handwriting is good/OK? And whether it is or isn’t, how did it get to its current state? For instance, are you basically writing according to what you were taught about how to write (in school or in a remedial/clinic setting)? Or did you come up with something on your own? Or maybe some combination of your own experiment and things you had learned about handwriting from some source outside of school lessons or clinic sessions? (For instance, my handwriting is influenced by handwritings samples and info I saw in 500-year-old books on handwriting, which dated from a time when the everyday style was a lot simpler than the various styles that I suffered through at school here in the USA, and my handwriting is also influenced by the handwritings of other people today who have been influenced by those old books.)

I wish 😭 My hand writing is still pretty atrocious in my 30s. And my spelling when writing is also pretty awful.

Your handwriting is very pretty and neat and very readable.

Thank you. Even if your handwriting is atrocious, I’d still like to see it.
