A survey conducted in 1994 by the Geneva Centre for Autism in Toronto, Canada, suggests these difficulties (brains that do not correctly process the visual information they receive) may be more common, finding that 81% of those on the autism spectrum reported distorted perception. The most common problems were difficulties with depth perception; distorted perception of size, shape, and motion; seeing only small details and not the whole; and visual overstimulation. However, visual-perceptual processing difficulties are not unique to the autism community. They are experienced by as many as 50% of individuals with reading difficulties or dyslexia and can also plague individuals who have suffered traumatic brain injury, concussion and whiplash.
