Guest guest Posted February 12, 2003 Report Share Posted February 12, 2003 Hi Cara; I mean things moving around me ... really moving! Also bright colours .... things happening on the TV screen. Sometimes I sit in front of the TV "watching" the TV ..... hahahah .... I couldn't tell you what has happened because the moving pictures so catch my attention that what's happening eludes me! You describe stationery things starting to move in the periphery .... and I have had that happen quite often, especially when I am tired. Jean And Escalators ..... UGH! I HATE them! I have a REAL problem with knowing when to step onto the moving step and admit to being afraid that I will get sucked into the machinery!!!! I never thought I would share that one!!! <grin> Elevators .... welllllll .... I hang on as if my life depended on it to the rail because I am claustrophobic or at least that is the best way I know to describe the sensory feelings I have especially with the changing of height motion! Its not REAL fear .... it is the "position in space" thing again. Jean "C. Waller" wrote: when you write "I like to use my computer at night with the lights out .... because I can focus better on the screen and not be distracted by things moving in my peripheral vision." do you mean that things that are moving in you peripheral vision (like people or TV or clock pendulum, etc.) bother you or that things in your peripheral vision appear to move when they should be stationary (or is it stationery?) i think you mean the first, but i am curious as often the second happens to me, and I believe my child has this happen too thanks! and Hooray for elevators over escalators! escalators are a problem cara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 12, 2003 Report Share Posted February 12, 2003 Yes ... sensory integration describes it well! I believe that sensory integration is an autonomic function. Can't remember ... did I admit that I come down stairs facing the stairs when no one is looking so that my toes will give me the spatial information I need? Your daughter might find this helpful ... and it might reduce her fear of falling too. Jean orrmullane@... wrote: I find this all so interesting. A lot of this sounds like sensory integration issues, which many people with a variety of chronic conditions/disabilities experience. I especially like your description of not knowing where your foot will come down on the stair -- I think that must be just like what happens with my daughter.
