My grandson wears glasses with coloured lens because of this.....a great help. To have some idea of what sufferers have to cope with, do a Google search on ..Images... putting the words Irlen Syndrome into the search box. Gwyn

Thanks guys, it was Irlens syndrome, I'll pass the info on. I think it was Little nan to be who posted it - my memories going! My friend has had so many problems with him, he's had the tests for dyspraxia and dyslexia and the report actually suggests believe it or not that he's simply stupid?!! He's due to go on an adventure holiday with school soon so she's really worried. Hopefully this info may help her start to get to the bottom of it. The symptoms are very similar, thanks again, Cx

There was a thread on here not so long ago about someone's Grandchild who had been eventually diagnosed with a condition. It wasn't dyslexia or dyspraxia but something similar. I can't remember the name of it, can you? It's for a friend, any help much appreciated, Cx
