Explanation
Once when I was traveling on a bus. My fellow passenger started shaking continuously. This happened for a couple of minutes and then the person fell down.
The bus drove towards the nearest hospital. Later I came to know that the person suffered from a Seizure Disorder. This disability does not have any cure. But, it can be controlled by medication.
Some signs that a person is suffering from seizure disorder are falling down suddenly, frothing at the mouth, having sudden rapid eye movements, Making unusual noises and many more.
How does a Seizure disorder affect a person to use the internet?
Your website might contain animations or images of bright colors. When a person with a seizure disorder visits your website, there are chances that he might get a seizure attack.
This happens due to any content that flickers, flashes, or blinks. Such kind of content triggers a seizure attack.
You don't have to make too many changes to your website. Just use lighter shades colors and simple animations on your pages. In this way, all kinds of users can make use of your content without any problem.
