    My son is not only left-handed, but he has no use of his right hand and arm due to a stroke at a very young age. Although, his right leg is not fully functional (hemiplegic) and is aphasic, he is a 29-year old adult, married, holding down a job and drives a car which has been modified to fit his needs.

    Is there anything out there (and I do mean anything) that is specifically meant for use with the left hand only?

    Would love to see such items.

    Thanks a million!

      Your son sounds amazing, I wish him well and hope he continues to enjoy a good life. I have always felt that being left handed makes me feel ‘different’ and as I like to stand out from the crowd, not a bad thing. Left handed people are not sheep and therefore deserve to be recognised as different!
      I cant offer you any assistant Im afraid but moral support counts for a lot. So I hope your son feels as proud as I do to be using his left hand instead of his right.

      Regards,

      Victoria

    I’m a lefty and have found difficulties in my aerobic/dance classes. Has anyone else noticed that dancing tends to favor right-handed movements? This includes symmetrical moves (one side, than the other; I find right-handed instructors will often forget the left side) and moves that require 180 degree turns (I’d prefer to turn to the left using my left foot for balance but hip-hop dancing generally has you turn to your right).

    i am a left hander or i can simply say that i only use my left hand in writing other than that i am used to use my right hand in other activities.
    i am very popular in my class because i have the best handwriting of all inspite of writing with left hand so left hand also sometimes dominates over the right hand

    I’ll repeat this just not knowing if it “took” first time…
    I write exclusively with my left hand, cannot use my right. Yet I seem to do most everything else with my right hand.
    I am superinterested in your diary/notebook type of products.
    But would anyone have any idea why my brain works this way?
    I am not upset just very curious

    Why do left-handed watches have the numbers going the other way yet still have the little time adjuster knob on the right hand side? I was alway taught to have my watch on the opposite hand to which I right, which makes using that function very difficult. I’d have thought having the numbers going the correct way round but with the knob on the other side would be more benefical to most. Any ideas?

    Does anybody know where you can buy a joystick for either the XBox or PS2? I ask because my dad lost his right arm in an accident, and now finds simple tasks such as using a controller quite difficult.

    Configure mouse settings in control panel & change use of primary button to right, click mouse, tick switch primary button, apply and ok. Then place mouse left hand side of keyboard, simple this is how I use mine. I presume this is what you were asking about.

    what you believe of the suggesiton that most of lift handed were intellegent or has aptitude to consider things different to their right handed colleagues, otherwise lifthanded has better chance to activate the lift sid of their minds in which intellectual visoin were found

  12. Not sure how to answer that question about operating a computer with the just the left hand!
    But, I have another question: Are there any other left handers out there who have difficulty in forward planning. i don’t know if it’s just me or if it’s a common trait with left handedness.
    Also, sense of direction, or lack of it! There have been many a time I have taken a wrong turn down a street and before I know it, hopelessly lost. Thereafter, find it very difficult in working out how to get my bearings right again.
