yep, it doesn't show up much any more, but that is simply because of 14 years of education, but I still have problems spelling certain words. I used to write from right to left when I was younger and my hand writing is almost illegible most of the time.

unfortunately not, it is a gift that I lost when I started having to write from left to left.

Most of the reason for my bad hand writing is to do with my dyspraxia, which effects me in various ways, like giving me a very posh accent, making me subtly zig-zag when walking along the road ect.

It is to do with motor difficulties like writing, speaking and balance. The co-ordination between the senses and the brain is slightly off, so whilst you may want to walk in a straight line it is difficult to do so.

It is a mild form of autism.

Whilst it can exhibit itself in genious in one particular area, that is not the main symptoms of it. People who suffer from Asperger syndrome will have very few social skills and will get very uncomfortable around other people, have a set routine that they like to follow and have one or more obsessions, which in my case are anime, star trek (to a lesser extent now), Japan and this forum as well.

That could just be clumbsyness, but if you are worried you might have it, then get in contact with your local mental health authority and get yourself tested as you might be able to get help with things at uni if you do have certain special needs.

there are varying degrees of severity with all forms of special needs, so while one person may have it and not seem to be effected by it, another person may have a very severe form of it.
