Hi Purple_Rain. It's great to know I'm not the only one. I didn't get diagnosed until a few years ago - purely because I'd never heard of anyone having this difficulty and was afraid to say anything in case people thought I was on drugs or something! I just couldn't help thinking people would react weirdly if I said "does that text move and swirl for you too?"

It's nice to know that it is a known and recognised issue and that there are other people who can relate.

I recently did some website accessibility testing for a university and I told them about scotopic sensitivity and show them the sample distortions online and they said they hadn't heard of it before and are now going to try to build different colour options into their new website, so it's nice that they took the situation seriously and hopefully it will help people who use their site.
