This book helps me explain to others who don't know anything about SSS (even though they may have it and not know it), what it is, when I flip to the colored pages in the book, and have them try to read text on those colored pages, which makes it hard for them to read! There's also other cute self-tests in the book that are very helpful too.
If you want to get an idea of how hard it is for anyone to read who has SSS, flip to the colored pages in the book, and see which colors are easier and harder for you to read. Even though one might have terribly strong reading skills, as one gets older, and muscles become strained, one could be helped by the information in this book. After all, don't we change the fonts and color backgrounds on our computers so that we can see them better?
I was 38 years old, recovering from an auto accident, when I was referred to the author's clinic, to see if I could find any help for transposing numbers when I took telephone messages working as a secretary so that I wouldn't have to spend time on the job reading back phone numbers to the phone caller to make sure that I'd got the phone number correct. It was so surprising to find that I a very fast and strong reader (and very intelligent too) was diagnosed with SSS, and that I'd had it all my life without knowing it! During the exam I was shown that for my eyes, words were actually not lying flat on the page, and this was why I was having to take extra time on the job with those phone numbers! My reading skills were so strong they were overcoming the SSS issue, to a large degree. But because I was recovering from an auto accident, my muscles became fatigued earlier, thus the SSS diagnosis. |
