pearl Report post Posted November 3, 2007 Ian is an OGB, Paula. (Official Good Bloke) He posts on here & does autism-related eye work & has seen loads of peeps on here. If you look him up in Members you can find his posts, I have no idea what he's on about half the time, but whatever he's doing it seems to work!

Mumble Report post Posted November 3, 2007 i was totally lost trying to make sense of the original post by mumble...sorry... That's a common reaction of most people to me :lol: No offence taken whatsoever. Ian is a research optitian with a research interest in visual processing and the effects of this on other sensory pathways. He looks at how the correction of visual stimuli through coloured lenses addresses many of the percpetual issues found in ASD, dyspraxia, dyslexia etc. (sorry if that's totally incorrect, Ian). He is a member on this forum. He has a website - http://www.jordanseyes.com/ - which gives a lot more information. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mumble Report post Posted November 3, 2007 Ian is an OGB, Paula. (Official Good Bloke) Another one . . . the web designer has spelt the word 'perception' wrong... How should 'perception' be spelt - I've always spelt it as you have it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
paulathomson Report post Posted November 3, 2007 Another one . . . How should 'perception' be spelt - I've always spelt it as you have it sorry im rubbish at explaining and sometimes assume that everyone knows what i mean...perception is spelled this way but on the website i found it was spelt like ''eprception''.. the web designer probably hasnt spelled it wrong rather just typed wrong by accident.. the website was very intersting.. but agin i got distracted by other 'mispelled words' Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
paulathomson Report post Posted November 3, 2007 Another one . . . How should 'perception' be spelt - I've always spelt it as you have it i am terrible.. i cant read anything without picking up on tiny insignificant errors..i dont do it by choice...it just happens as soon as i look at the page/text..i know instantly that something isnt right...it is annoying sometimes...especially when i do it myself..AARRGG!!! and these smiley faces.. i didnt have a clue what they all meant when i first came on the forum...apart from one or two very obvious ones..did this happen to anyone else or am i strange? the ian jordan website is most interesting as it supports my own claims...i suffer from severe anxiety attacks.. have done for years...but im not convinces all my ''attacks'' are totally panic.. i am certain that some are sensory issues...so thank you for all your advice..

I do it with numerical things so I can sort of see where you are coming from. If you point out the errors to Ian, I'm sure he'd get them fixed. and these smiley faces.. i didnt have a clue what they all meant when i first came on the forum...apart from one or two very obvious ones..did this happen to anyone else or am i strange? I had this problem when I joined (and see the thread on the smilie that we all thought meant something different!!!). If you hold your mouse over the image it comes up in word form which I had to do for a long time (still do with some of them). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mumble Report post Posted November 4, 2007 Its always the quiet ones you have to keep an eye on.... Well that's not me then - just ask llisa - I could hardly be described as 'quiet' when the plane's brakes weren't working and we were hurteling towards the end of the runway at a speed rather in excess of what I was comfortable with . . . Still I think I did a good deed - warning the other passengers about the lack of brakes was very, very important Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
