aspergers and handwriting problems?

[smurfette]

Hi i am new to this forum.  am currently a graduate student who has had a history of trouble making/keeping friendships.

i also find that no matter what i do, i have trouble writing.  i am right-handed, and have trouble forming letters with circular shapes like a,b,c,o,e.  i can feel my hand/arm cramping up as if i am forcing something.  if i write at a regular pace like everyone else, then the circular shapes always have jagged edges, like one or more sharp points.  if i write really slow, i can make the circular shapes with a lot of concentration.  the same thing happens when i am writing on the board. 

i am just wondering if this is an asperger trait.  do other aspies have problems with handwriting, specifically forming smooth curved letters?

Yes, I think that's a pretty common Aspie trait. I found a really useful handwriting guide that helped me a lot, though. It might help you too Check it out at http://www.paperpenalia.com/handwriting.html
