Hello!

Post by Nicksie »

Hi! I was recently diagnoses with dyspraxia (along with visual stress) after struggling at university. I found this forum while looking for some advice and finally decided to join.

Hope to get stuck in and chatting with you all!

Hi and welcome

Really hope you find the site helpful. It's quite quiet so alwsys good to have new members. Can you define visual stress? Is it a case of there being so much you're trying to take in visually that you just can't see what you need to. Or sonething different?
My eyesight is not the best but I manage ok though somtimes I can get into a bit of a 'blind panic'

Feel free to read posts and contribute as much as you feel comfortable.

Hi!

Visual stress is similar if not the same as irlen syndrome, which affects the way you perceive light. I have to wear tinted glasses to make things less difficult to look at.
