I’m writing this post from my iPad. I can’t use the desktop for long because I get car sick. Car sick?! Well, it feels like motion sickness, even when I’m doing no more than looking at the computer monitors. Because of the work I do, I have two monitors, but I suspect that this would be difficult just one one. The iPad, however, seems to be okay.
Why would the iPad and my Droid phone be okay even though I can’t use the computer? My guess is that because the screens are small, my eyes don’t have to move around so much. Even then, I can’t play certain games with a lot of movement (Bejeweled Blitz, for one). At least I can watch Blackhawks hockey tonight!
So, what does this have to do with spectrum issues? Vertigo can be debilitating for anyone. My, you’re full of questions today! Well, the answer is that I am experiencing this, it’s my
blog, and I feel like it.
It comes down to tolerance of an unusual situation. I cannot imagine how The Munchie would deal with this. She’d probably scream, cry, and throw up. A lot. For me, I’m only dealing this “well” because I have support in the form of the part time nanny who is dealing with the kids, and the same with Xife (the husband).
It’s extremely frustrating to be sidelined. I can’t even drive right now. I drove yesterday to pick up some Antivert from Walgreens. It’s not that far, but I already felt ill by the time I got there.
Well, I’m going to read to the Munchie. She has a cold and stayed home from school today. Hopefully that will not be a problem!

My daughter has autism and two weeks ago started having different stims along with eye fluttering. I’ve got videos of this and thought it was seizures now I’m wondering if this is early onset of vertigo. Thanks for your post

Julie,
Wow, I forgot to check for responses. I haven’t been good about blogging lately, so I totally missed this.
Have you found any answers yet? I rather doubt that this has anything to do with vertigo, but that’s best left to a doctor. I’d love to hear back and know how she’s doing. How old is she?
Best wishes!
