I came across this when looking into a combination of factors; left-handedness, increased spatial reasoning ability, and autism. The path took me on a bit of a journey. As a leftie, I just thought I’d share this one.

    Mixed-handedness is even more prevalent in people with autism. I’m mixed-handed too, left handed for writing, but most things can be either hand.

      Interesting! Some things I’ve naturally done right handed, like with firearms. I think I could shoot left-handed but I’ve never tried to.

        I assume that you are right-eye dominant, which would determine firearm preference rather than your manual(?) handedness.

          I guess writing hand/dominant hand. My dad was right handed and that’s probably just the way I was taught from a young age. One of my high school friends was right handed (afaik) and shot left handed. Having a dominant eye makes sense, like your dominant foot with skateboarding or snowboarding. Interesting to think about
