[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Years of OT achieved zero. If anything his handwriting is getting worse. It is literally barely legible. I know they do almost everything on computers now but still it is concerning to me. Anyone had a child with this and how to improve it? I am worried it has some deeper meaning in brain significance. Past Dr’s have shrugged it off. He had to sign his name in cursive on a document recently and it took minutes of painstaking effort. [/quote]

Some autistic people just have poor handwriting, which never improves, even with OT.  You can’t fix that, and if their support/medical team is unconcerned, I would drop the issue.

Cursive is beyond obsolete.  It’s more an art form now than a useful means of communication.  Many documents can be electronically signed these days, and those that can’t can be signed with an X if a full signature is too much effort for your child.  As for writing longer documents, they can be typed.  You can even buy them an old-style electronic typewriter if they need assistance filling out forms that can’t be easily converted to an electronic format.

Just accommodate and move on.[/quote]
