I Like Pink Stuff

Hope I did this right. In the end my stepdad wrote it for me.

The day I found out that a lot of people with autism/dyspraxia find writing to be physically painful was the day my entire school experience made sense to me.  Writing by hand causes my entire hand t go numb.  my wrist starts hurting and after more than a page the pain goes all the way up past my elbow.  My mother took me to see a handwriting tutor to find out why my handwriting was always so terrible and painful and the woman said that I held the pencil wrong, was holding it so tight that my fingers were going white, and that pretty much everything about my writing posture was wrong.  After three months of writing tutoring and zero progress we gave up on it.

True story. I was eating a tuna melt and, usually, those things are horribly messy for me… Bread crumbs and bits of tuna all over the table and melted cheese dripping everywhere. But somehow I’d managed to eat it without making any mess whatsoever…

… And then I ended up accidentally kicking the table when I got up, knocking over my mother’s coffee. :|

For anyone else who gets there words mixed up and stutters a lot.

I swore to myself that I was going to pull it off, just once; my professor ended up asking me if I was drunk… At least she was joking. ^-^

Actually I think I did went down the stairs while looking at some paper once, but I missed a stair and ended up on the floor :’D)

God.  There are days when I will look down the stairs and be all “nope!” and take the ramp or elevator if there is one available.

Am I the only one using those ? They’re heaven. THEY SAVE MY LIFE.

After years of holding my pen wrong and gripping it super hard and having awful pains all day long, I’ve found this baby. No pain, I can hold it all right because they are easy to grip. I can write as fast as the rest of the class now. It still get painful when I write for too long, but it’s only after a good while (like during exams, and frankly I can manage. I had worse before :))

And this morning I didn’t have any ink left, and I had to use a regular pen. Just sitting here like “WAIT HOW DO YOU HOLD A NORMAL PEN” and then writing badly and really slowly. I gave up pretty quickly and didn’t take much notes, as the teacher was talking really fast :u.

This is a thing?  Cause…  Writing by hand is physically excruciating for me.  Like, break down and cry after a few lines.  I used to have these…  squishy rubber things…  that went on pencils…  they made it better.  I am going to check out these pens, though.
