Many NeuroDiverse people ( I am one of them suffer immense pain when using a computer and laptop). I suffer with pian in my back, chest, neck fingers, arms and other parts of my body which is common with ND's and many of us are 'misdaignosed'. Muscular Skeletal, Spondylosis, Arthritis are very common within the ND community and causes so much unwanted pain and high anxiety through one's lifecourse. My Spondylosis and Muscular Skeletal pain was misdiganoed as 'hereditary heart desease' within the family, since I was 13 years old and I was only given the reassurance after being sent to an 'heart-specialist' 32 years later, at aged 45 yaers old, that I have not got heart desease. The Health and other public bodies knew I suffered from servere-anxiety (OCD), after I lost my father who died when I was only 13 years old, then put in 'care' and they put all my ND related pain down to 'psycho-somatic' pain. In my teens, 20's/30's I did a lot of gym work, football, running and other sports to over-compensate, which at 33 years old I stopped exercise and other sports because the pain got too much and I was wrongly informed I had 'heriditary heart desease', which triggered my high anxiety (OCD) even more. I have been informed of this AT today:- LapDawg: cool, in-bed laptop holder for lazy slackers (ND's and other DP are not lazy slackers) and need to kind of AT. http://www.boingboing.net/2007/02/21/lapdawg-cool-inbed-l.html Does anyone know of any other ND Assistive Teachnoly for using my computer keyboard etc?? Yours Colin Revell
