I have trouble with that to, because of Dexterity issues, which has to do with Hypotonia (low muscle tone)

I have ataxia (the rarest cp) it's mild, I have mobility issues, But, not that severe.

So, yah I have trouble the emoji's too......I use dictation......to text, You can also just say the emoji name.

Your weak hand might be some kind of arthritis,
I have a mild case of carpal tunnel syndrome, that is causing problems with grip strength in my left hand, and is affecting my right a little too.

And I know You know You wish You were "normal" I do to, I wish Was to, Your not alone.
