Hi, I’m a teacher looking to help an ASC student who has hyper sensitivity to patterns, especially dots. They’re everywhere- ceiling tiles, carpets, science diagrams. She can even see the pores in skin. This is causing her huge stress. Would glasses with colour lenses help?
Tbh tinted glasses won’t help. If a particular stimulus is too off putting and you can’t remove the stimulus the solution is often a more overt stimulus that’s more tolerable. For example if if background noises are distracting sometime listening to music can help you focus. I guess the visual equivalent might be decorating her work space some how? With something she finds less stressful than dots?
