This one just occurred to me, but I have always had iffy handwriting and recently have been trying to learn Russian which is reliant on fairly tricky cursive.
I have found the whole experience of learning a new style of cursive to be frustratingly difficult and was wondering if not having a good visual memory might lend itself to a slightly harder time of it.

I have allways had horrible handwriting. But I think it has more to do with my autism and adhd which make it hard to form muscle memory and at the same time make me dread repetitive tasks like the drawing of letters that I had to do in school. I had some trouble learning to touch type too but it was much easier and now writing is effortless. It’s like the difference between dragging your self over the ground using only your arms and riding a bicycle.
My handwriting is intirely dependent on the writing tool. Pencil/fountain pen is fine, but biro not. More about how flat I can hold the utencil-- the flatter the better.
Drawing is different, I have to sketch from the paper, rather than a mental image etc
My handwriting looks like a spider fell into an inkwell, clambered out, then had a party on a page.
BAD
