Well maybe I am just not getting enough sleep.....or maybe I should wear my light prescription for glasses, I just don't like them and my vision is not too bad its just a bit hard for me to focus on things in the distance....like if I sit in the back of the class it might be a bit hard to see the words on the board.

but yeah sometimes the walls and such seem to move a slight bit, or I might see movement out of the corner of my eye but then when I look there is no movement. and sometimes i mistake objects for other things.....like if someone leaves a dark colored peice of clothing on the floor I might confuse it for my black cat for a second. there are some other things that are a bit hard to describe.

has anyone else experianced this, or have any idea what it could be related to if its not lack of sleep or related to my slight vision problems.

I wonder if the movement thing is amblyopia. I had it as a child and was treated for it. However if I am very tired my eye shifts and makes inanimate objects look like they're moving. Have you had your eyes checked recently? Incidentally, amblyopia shows up more frequently in people with ASD's than in the general population.

quite frankly I don't know that I can afford to get my eyes checked...but I had them checked like a year ago and all they found was that a slight prescription was beneficial. I may see if i can afford it.

but yeah I feel like its possible that its something psychological considering its worse when Im stressed.
