Differently Abled (fly your freak flag high)

I don't have seizures, but strobe lights bother the heck out of me and I have to say that sometimes stuff on the computer screen makes me back up and turn my head away pretty quickly--especially youtubes.

I had to learn to ignore the movements of the smilies next to the posting window; I see them out of the corner of my eye as one picture with many disparate moving parts--and not synchronized, yanno? So it's sometimes hard to deal with.

{{{{{{{{{{{{{everyone}}}}}}}}}}}}}}

I could just hug you right now Bit. I was looking in my brain for the word "strobe" last night but it would NOT manifest in an actual thought.

The smiles I can ignore, but avatars that "strobe" make it difficult for me to read for fear of a seizure. THANK YOU for you input.

{{{{{{{{{{{Adele}}}}}}}}}}} I lose words sometimes too... MAN do I hate that.... but they always come back eventually. It might be days later, but hey... eventually. *wry smile*
