Yet another draftsman. Same problems but derived from ANS. I was always involved in industrial desighn, industrial instrumentation and watchmaking. Now the hand writing is less than required, the dexterity is often missing and tieing shoe laces can get difficult. As for shirt buttons, gave them up years ago. It is beyond frustrating and more infuriating the hands not doing what I know they can. For me the hand eye co ordination is often missing but curiously given 2 pairs of tweezers the brain remembers what it can do and does. It applies the right amount of pressure to manipulate most everythning I ever could. I tie knots better with tweezers than without. I can not pick up a watch battery unless I have tweezers in my hands, controlling a computer mouse is another problem area these days.
Yes it is not life threatening but it is the tip of the iceberg for me, one that is getting ever larger with time.

Hi, cheyne (@cheyne)

I gave up any aspirations I may have had about pursuing architecture between my high school graduation and the start of college. I shared my change of plans with no one, not even my parents. What drove me away from pursuing architecture was not the drawing––I loved the drawing––but the math. That’s just me, you see. I’m not a math guy. I was misdirected by an uncle who, hearing that I was going to an art school, persuaded me to choose a major in a field that promised high-paying wages; ‘Forget photography or advertising art, nephew Ray. Go for architecture!’ So I did. It wasn’t until I got into college that I was able to put myself back on a natural track (‘natural’ for a guy like me) and highballed into theater arts, where I ended up spending my whole working life. In theater, no one seemed to care much about whether I could write legibly or not. So long as I knew my lines and entered on time. 🙂
