Held the world in my fingertips...

okay

Personally, I am right handed, but I can only use a hockey stick the left handed way, and I’ve been told that when I write I form letters the way a left handed person would. Mother is left handed so it’s possible there was some influence there.

I also have a brother with the same diagnosis as me, who is left handed.

I (adhd, autistic) am right hand dominant writing-wise right now, but originally I was ambidexterous, my right hand is slightly more dominant now more due to me choosing to write with primarily my right hand as a child because my teachers didn't like me switching back and forth, and therefore it got stronger, than an innate difference.

And I can still do most tasks with my left hand nearly if not just as well as my right, the main difference is really mostly just in writing and drawing, and I can still technically write and draw with my left hand, it's just slower and takes more thought because I don't have the same muscle memory for writing and drawing with my left hand that I do my right. Sometimes my handwriting is actually more legible with my left hand than my right because I have to think about it more (altho that's a somewhat low bar, my handwriting sucks). I had my dexterity tested at some point and the time it took me to complete the task with either hand had only like less than a full seconds difference between them.

I also had confusion when I used to run competitively on which leg to start on (like what leg u put forward when ur standing on the starting line waiting for the gun) apparently a lot of right handed people start with their right leg because it's usually also dominant or something, but I always kept switching and got confused on which to start with I didn't seem to have a natural inclination towards putting one leg forward vs the other like others did.

My mom (adhd) is right handed, but 'cross dominant' meaning her dominant hand and dominant eye are on opposite sides.

There's one or two people in the neurodivergent meet up I attend who are/were also ambidexterous. One of which is also cross dominant.

And I've definitely heard stories from othe neurodivergent people online who were more ambidexterous or who are left handed.

Being an introvert, you might go “Okay, well this thing that takes an hour is about the limit of my Ability to People for the day. I won’t have the energy to do this other thing later without a break.”.

ADHD is “Well my appointment’s at 2pm, but I should probably plan to show up early just in case, and driving takes 15 minutes, so I should round that up to an hour, and I need at least 3 hours to get ready in case I get distracted, so I need to get up at 8, and I can do Nothing Else.

Bonus points if you manage to fuck over your sleep schedule the night before because you’re feeling anxious about getting to the thing on time.

(If that sounds exhausting, it really is.)
