So I was doing research a couple weeks back and one of the websites mentioned that "motor functions" could possibly be impaired as a result of APD.
I'm assuming they are talking about handwriting. I'm 20 and my handwriting resembles that of a 2nd grader's. I don't know if it's from my 2nd grade teacher giving up on us on teaching us how to write properly or if it's a result of APD.
So I guess my question is, do you think your handwriting sucks? None of my letters ever have any conformity to one another, individual lines within letters are often crooked when they're supposed to be straight and they can also vary in sizes. The only way to get even conformity in my letters when writing is if I write at sloth speed, paying attention to every detail of each letter I'm writing.
LOL my too but I never thought about it that way. Well...the up side is that most of the school works in uni are typed. I usually print in all CAPS when I write so that way at lease my letters are around the same size and it dose look a little better.
You should certainly get a book about graphology, as the style we write says a lot about our character. Professional graphologers are sometimes hired by employers to evaluate new employees, they work for court etc. Because the handwriting can disclose not only character of the person, but also things like lying, manipulation, homosexuality, mental and physical diseases, discloses even people´s past and everything.

Well I never thought my 3rd grade handwriting could be the result of APD. Its always been the same ever since I began writing; never worsening, never improving. And don't even get me started on my cursive! :/ I remember my 4th grade teacher was so concerned about that, she issued me a "how-to-do" book about cursive; free of charge. Yeah, my handwriting was that bad and still is. But I always assumed it was somekind of defect I inherited from my old man. Its comforting to know that my handwriting isn't the only one that looks like some form of primitive language; with words too close together, nearly under the lines on paper.

Well if that's true, then my handwriting says alot of bad things about me like "YOU SUCK!!!! Hahahahaaa!" And it also says things like I'm a slow-witted 5 year old at heart...

The aim of the study was to examine the association between avoidant personality traits and motor impairment in childhood. The relationship between other personality traits and motor function was also explored. A population-based screened sample of 150 11-12-year-old children (50 socially anxious, 50 impulsive and 50 nonsocially anxious/nonimpulsive) was assessed using the Coolidge Personality and Neuropsycho- logical Inventory for Children (CPNI) and the Motor Assessment Battery for Children (MABC). Among the personality scales, avoidant personality traits were most strongly associated with motor impairment. Children with clinically avoidant personality traits (n = 31) showed a significantly poorer motor performance than children in the nonclinical avoidance group (n = 119). About 50% of the children with clinical avoidance obtained a motor score below the 5th percentile. No gender differences in motor performance were found in the clinical avoidance group. More research on the impact of motor impairment on psychological development is needed.
Of course, I think you have to have the right medical journal the view the actual study. Sad.

Not necessarily! Anyway try to borrow (or buy) some book about graphology and evaluate your own writing according to it.

Actually... my handwriting is actually quite nice and elegant... and I'm a guy =/ Someone at work was like... OMG you write like a woman >.> Anyway. If I'm just rushing through it gets quite messy but still fancy swoops and swooshes and stuff.... Part of that I think is because when I was bored in school or where ever, and theres a pen in my hand, I'll write whatever comes into my head or just start doodling whatever. Or just write my name over and over just sitting there bored or something. Now its just kind of a habit...
