I used to think my son was ambidextrous. He would do some things with his right hand and some with his left. Then we found out he has asperger’s syndrome, and his coordination isn’t the greatest. Could be why he would try with both hands.
As for me, I’m a righty.

And I’m a righty myself… same pinch 😀
Have a great day dear!

Oh yes, there are many that are. Usually people with Asperger’s have difficulty in certain areas, but really excel in others. My son has difficulty with math. He’s an amazing kid and I’m thankful for his cute personality and all that Asperger’s makes him to be.

An interesting word. My husband is just about ambidextrous. He writes with his right, but does so many things with his left. I’m up to ‘b’ this week with my WOW, and will post it on Sunday, probably. I finished the alphabet and started again last week. 🙂

Thanks Millie! And wow, I really think that ambidextrous are really smart… 🙂
I missed a couple of WOW posts last month so I guess I’ll be a bit behind only, lol!
Looking forward to read yours 🙂

I managed to finish all the alphabet, and have already done A. I didn’t link the last couple to your last post, Heena, because I’d already linked a couple, and I didn’t think you’d have time for your blog right now! I wish you every bit of luck with your book! 🙂

And thanks a lot Millie… I’m so close to the end that the thought of being free from next month is literally starting to freak me out… lol! Writing is so addictive! Guess I’ll have to start working on the next book right after getting done with this one… 🙂
