Question I was online looking up one shoulder is lower than the other one. I have noticed this in my one son, who is almost 5. I saw where a lady asked you a question about dyslexia and I read your response. That is another concern of mine...is he writing with the wrong hand. This was your response to her:
Dear Bunnysquare,
I need to ask you some questions. Are you right handed or left handed. When you stand in the mirror with no shoes on is one shoulder slightly higher than the other? Which eye do you use to sight with if you were looking through a microscope? Is one foot bigger than the other?
There are also several traits that might come in to play but I feel you maybe are using the wrong hand. Please reply with the answers and I will explain what happens to the brain when you use the wrong hand.

I would like to answer some of the questions that you had asked her to see if my son is writing with the appropriate hand. He wrote primarily with his left hand and a teacher thought he should write with his right hand so now he primarily uses his right hand to write. He uses scissors with his left hand and alternates between the two for almost everything else. My son's left shoulder slopes lower than the right shoulder. He is legally blind in his left eye. I do not know if he has one foot that is bigger than the other one. His left leg is noticeably stronger than the right leg. He was doing very well writing with his left hand and now, since he switched hands his writing is not as legible. He does have very weak hand muscles and we are working on that. I am letting him know that it is okay to write with his left hand. Should I stop that? When he writes now his left eye is to the paper and he is blind in that eye....that is my concern and the fact that he is more coordinated with the left side of his body tells me that he is left handed. Do you have any suggestions for me on what hand he should be writing with? I know that is a lot to ask when you haven't seen him in person.
Thank you for your response.

Answer i am very sorry but i really am not sure why you contacted me with this as i am not the person who answered the question you quote to me
i am also sorry but dyslexia is not really my area and i am not medically qualified so am not able to advise you on this question
may i suggest that you check the list of experts here and if you cannot find the person who answered the question you have quoted then perhaps you could ask a medical expert such as Dr Billy Levin
