I was diagnosed with Dysgraphia (dyslexia but mainly impacting my written skills) when I was around 13-14 (over 20 years ago) My handwriting has never really improved and while readable it looks like something an 8 year old would do I don't have the issues with getting my ideas down as I was given a laptop to use at school instead of handwriting for most of my work (very rare at the time) which helped tremendously and I feel that most of my other aspects of dyslexia apart from my handwriting no longer impact me I am a slightly slower reader than average, but nothing like it use to effect me

Huh I never realized there was a name for this condition I've had this problem every since I was treated for a brain tumor back in '13 I tend to mix up b's and p's when I type

please dear god don't make children use pencil grips I winced so hard just hearing that phrase and remembering the horrible cramps those little instruments of torture used to give me, and it was almost 20 years ago my little hitler of a year 1 teacher used to force those awful things on me no matter how much they hurt me

my mum thinks i have it and we are llooking ffor a diagnosis, i'm in 7th ggrade and my handwriting hhasn't evolved since i was in 3d grade i have almsot every symptom and it makes a lot of ssense, with the mix of lower case ans upper case i mix them up a lot, i spell things wrong, my writing sspeed and copying speed are very slow, i write letters backwords in some cases, and more it would make a lot of sense to why i struggle in sschool and why i get so angry when tteachers tell me to fix my writing or take away points for lazy hhandwriting

I’m going into my first year of high school and I’m fully prepared to tell teachers “I’m sorry I have dysgraphia” lol
