Guest guest Posted December 21, 2004 Report Share Posted December 21, 2004 I just read on Donna site about tinted glasses she wears that help her to see things better. She explains this and I wonder if that is why your daughter likes the red bulb. Carlson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 23, 2004 Report Share Posted December 23, 2004 Interesting...no research as far as I know, but it made me think of the Irlen Institute with their colored overlays. Some folks fare better w/ different hues in their environment--rose colored glasses, etc. Bright bulbs, especially the fluorescent ones, can be over-stimulating and I would think a calm pink or blue might make life a little more bearable for some of our guys. Doesn't hurt. Here's the link--even though they say they're research based, etc., it is not truly scientific, but if the shoe fits... http://www.irlen.com/index_autism.html On Dec 20, 2004, at 6:31 PM, Penny wrote: > > I don't know if there is any scientific data, but my daughter asked my > dh to buy her a " red " lightbulb for her room and she loves it. > > Penny > re: Colored Lightbulbs > > > Hello, > Does anyone know the effects of colored lightbulbs and how it > helps autistic children?
