Detailed explanation-1: -Researchers have not yet found a genetic link between dyslexia and handedness and individuals with dyslexia, a learning difficulty that impacts on reading, writing and spelling abilities, are split 50:50 between right and lefthandedness.
Detailed explanation-2: -Confusing Directions And while all adults mix up their left and right, if this is a consistent issue for you, it could be a sign of undiagnosed dyslexia. Dyslexia can cause issues with spatial reasoning. People dealing with dyslexia can have issues reading maps, following directions, and confuse their left and right.
Detailed explanation-3: -Furthermore, in a meta-analysis of dyslexia, Eglinton and Annett (1994) reported a significant difference in handedness distribution between dyslectics and control groups. The proportion of left-handers was approximately equal in both groups, with 10.7 and 10.4% left-handers.
Detailed explanation-4: -Most of the time, left-handedness is simply a naturally occurring, normal variant. In some cases, however, it is disadvantageous and may well reflect a genetic defect or early developmental disturbance.
