Irlen Glasses

autismtwo

When I go into shops, especially supermarkets I get dizzy or if there is bright lights, even the sun in my eyes,, I get dizzy, it is like I am half drunk. My balance goes off. I was thinking maybe I am light sensitive.. researching,, I came across Irlen Glasses which are filter lens of some type.

Anyone know anything about this, is it a path worth exploring. I always assumed the dizzy spells were anxiety related, but could it be light sensitivity ?

    The NAS have known about this for a long time - in fact at least two of their recent trustees have had tinted specs for processing problems - but there is some difficulty with peer reviewed research. We have done some - but it has been ignored - I think it is inconvenient.

    That would be right.  Ignorance on other people's parts is what causes unwarranted situations to be unnecessarily prolonged.

    I suppose NAS's approach, or lack of, depends on funding and willingness, but hopefully they'll come on in leaps and bounds over time.

    I feel that, eventually, awareness will help improve things and anyone with disabilities will be much better catered for.
