Thread Name: BS: Dyslexia
Subject: RE: BS: Dyslexia
This subject of the coloured lenses reminded me of the books I read by Donna Williams, an autistic woman who wrote "Nobody Nowhere" and "Somebody Somewhere", and later "Like Colour to the Blind".

I remember this was the first time I'd read about the use of coloured lenses, in this case by a woman dealing with several disabilties, who very eloquently describes what it was like for her to put on these lenses for the first time.

Again, I don't know if this is of any interest to anyone on this thread, but I do think there is enough information from enough different sources not to completely discount it as an effective tool for SOME people.

I still feel badly that I might have offered website information which is not accurate or in any way worth exploring, but now that I've read what Helen posted, and found those books again by Donna Williams, at least I think I wasn't completely off base with feeling this might be of interest and possible value.
