dyslexia and tinted lenses

[Sonja van Baardwijk]

Last week I've seen a BBC documentary on a single parent family with 7 
kids. Of these 7, 4 kids (the boys) had various hereditary 
disfunctions/diseases/handicaps. One thing they had in common was that 
they all had autism in one form or another, with dyslexia being just one 
of the problems that having autism can result in. (not sure this is 
gramatically correct or even makes sense :o)) I found the documentary 
give a rather refreshing view on autism and how this can affect family 
life.
(See www.bbc.co.uk/ouch, the Jackson family for info)

But the reason I mention this at all is that there was something about 
amazing improvements of the dislexia for these boys by using differently 
coloured lenses.

from: http://www.bbc.co.uk/ouch/tvradio/autism/specs.shtml
Some people with visual dyslexia have found that altering the light in a 
room using specially tinted lenses can lessen their reading difficulties.

There are a number of links to other sites mentioning this as well, 
especially
