Thanks for the good wishes. It seems to be taking a long time to get over it this time.
If there were supposed to be that many people there with strobe problems
There weren't supposed to be that many. The bar-mitzvah boy has seizures that are not triggered by strobes. For most people with seizures, strobes aren't a problem. His parents are careful to make sure he gets enough sleep, and doesn't eat anything that might be a trigger, and I thought their awareness of "avoiding triggers is really important" would cross over better than it does. But controlling what you see is just HARDER than controlling what you eat.
As for my little nephews...the older one is 4. If they have a specific problem with strobes, they can't articulate it yet. It takes quite a bit of body-awareness and understanding of cause and effect for any kind of sensible answer about why a room feels wrong.
