I’ve been practicing the ABCs and 123s with my son and notice that certain letters (J N P S Z) and numbers (4 6) he always writes backwards/mirror imaged. I’ve seen other kids, and even my own writings as a child, have the same quirk. Is this pretty much universal?

I used to do it, I’m autistic and genuinely couldn’t tell the difference between a 3 and an E. along with b and d.
Other letters were the same, couldn’t tell if I had wrote them backwards until it was pointed out to me.
Took me till around age 10 to actually start being able to tell the difference.
Even at 23 I struggle with reading and writing. Despite being supported by school and college.
Fortunately I’ve gotten a job as a mechanic apprentice and the company is actually pretty supportive as they know I’m autistic.
I’m not sure about other children but that was me only difference is I can remember it due to how long I had problems with it.
