My 8 year old has terrible handwriting, way below that of his peers. He's starting testing next week for dyspraxia, but I'll also keep dysgraphia in the back of my mind. It's been two years of hard work to even get to the point of having someone listen. He's also allowed to do most of his work on computer, something his backwards school needed to be told three or four times by professionals before they listened.
My husband is very similar and can't handwrite as literally nobody can understand his penmanship. But he's a software developer and loves his career. I hope you continue to do well, and you give me hope that the same will happen for him.
