trekster Report post Posted November 27, 2009 hello As my dyslexia means i can read better right to left than left to right........i find reading upside down easier than the right way up. Does anyone know of a driver i can put on my computer screen that will stay until i set the pc to cancel it please? Previous suggestions mean as soon as my mouse clicks the driver goes and the screen becomes back to right way up. i can already enlarge the test on the screen but the upside down screen will make misunderstandings less of a problem. i am currently misreading stuff and missing out on reading stuff also getting tired from reading stuff. That is no matter what time of the day it is mind you. Alexis Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You may not be the only person who needs this (although you might be one of the rare people who has realised the solution to these specific difficulties). Perhaps you could write to Bill Gates - I know that Microsoft take a great interest in Asperger's and related conditions. Maybe you could get them to let you trial a system? Has to be worth a try!

Ian Jordan Report post Posted December 1, 2009 There is a possibility that this problem can be treated in seconds - and as it will not just be affecting computer work (even if not percieved) - it should be considered seriously. But, there again, I believe that every person on the spectrum should have their sensory processing addressed - as it causes so many of the problems encountered. And every parent of a child on the spectrum should treat it as a priority - when you see what I do every day of the week - you would be horrified at what so many children have to put with.

By treated do you mean cured? i need a cure for this problem not a long term treatment. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ian Jordan Report post Posted December 2, 2009 Symptoms can be stopped - which is not a cure - but it is close You can't cure many conditions e.g. if you have a cold you may take drugs to suppress symptoms - but you don't cure the cold - but it can be a big difference Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In the meantime, if you have Windows 7 (and this might be available on Vista as well) you can turn the screen upside-down. In the Display properties, Screen Resolution, there is an option for Orientation" which can be set to "Landscape (flipped)" Worth a try - but follow-up with Ian as well!

Phil i couldn't cope with vista so im still on XP but i will look in the display options of Xp in case it is there. i live south of bristol so it is extremely difficult for me to get to an appointment.
