<p>I have always, always had a problem with my handwriting. The best I recall it being was back in 2nd grade, and it feels like it has never gotten any better.</p>
<p>Not for lack of trying. I would write stories, and at first I would always hand-write them. I had tons of notebooks. </p>
<p>In 7th grade, my English teacher approached me and said she just wasn't going to deal with it anymore. She could not.</p>
<p>I brought in my laptop, and just arranged to get permission for that the whole time. It had never been a problem since. </p>
<p>Well, it was never a problem until I started taking standardized testing. Especially the AP Tests (of which I had no forewarning of that they expected me to write the three, successive essays, in pen.) </p>
<p>My condition is most similar to Fine Motor Dyspraxia, and it isn't just handwriting. Zippers, buttons, shoelaces, drawing, painting... all stuff I can't, couldn't on time, or still have difficulty doing. </p>
<p>I am considering making it all official, and trying to get official accommodation for it. I'm not really sure if it is worth it, however, since I essentially already have some accommodations, and my teachers just assume I have official ones. </p>
<p>So, anyone here have Fine Motor Dyspraxia? What sort of accommodations did you get, especially on standardized tests such as ACT, SAT, AP, and CLEP? Anyone run into trouble with this at College?</p>
