Do you mind if I enquire, are you right or left handed? Look forward to meeting others on here.
I will remember that and thanks again. -
Not at all, I'm left handed @DDN1429, and I've always wondered if this is down to CP or other factors! Hope you enjoy spending time here on the communityOnline Community Coordinator

@Alex_Scope that's fair enough, I only ask as I'm technically right handed but due to weakness and poor motor function I'm essentially left handed. My main reason for asking is, when I was an infant and learning to write, I'd write sentences backwards and/or upside down.. In my adult life, I struggle using mirrors - for shaving etc and imagine driving would be difficult using mirrors. Guess I was trying to find out if others experienced similar.
-
I see @DDN1429 thanks for explaining I don't think I could manage writing backwards or upside down now let alone when I was younger!
I do find using a mirror a bit tricky- I think it's harder for those fine motor skills which need very precise movements.Online Community Coordinator

@Alex_Scope, I didn't intentionally write backwards etc, my teachers and parents thought I was bit messed up, but as I understand it, it was due to mirroring what I was copying if that makes any sense.
I find it difficult shaving, as mirrors seem to confuse me, my hands/movement goes wrong way essentially.
