Any body else out there who was born favoring one hand & was cajoled into changing? My parents were not exactly getting along anymore when I was born, & the story from my family goes that I was using my left hand to grab toys, myself, etc. Since my Mom didn't want me to be left-handed like my Dad, she kept forcing me to change to my right, like her. When I was growing up, it was seen as more difficult to grow up left-handed & should be avoided. I remember my cousin Todd was picked on by teachers, students, everyone in grade school for being left-handed.

So now it seems I'm very ambidextrous (not a bad thing...) but have usually used my left side when trying new things. My chiropractor told me that he thinks it can be damaging to not use the side you naturally were given, so I've been slowly working toward switching back.

Any other weirdos, freaks out there with a story like this, & how did it work for you? Incidentally, I'm about equal in the artist/science geek realms, but can be slow sometimes to understand certain things until I get it, usually by example, it's like a light switch going on when I do. I couldn't tell time until I was much older than my peers, but was ranked in the top 2% in the nation in math skills as a kid. ???????????

I'm dying of curiosity, never met another like me in this yet. You out there?
