My employer has a master level services agreement with both Microsoft and Apple. I can bypass thier geenral support staff and go right to the engineers.
If Apple didn't care, they wouldn't make VoiceOver. Making products for a minority like blind people is not profitable. But they do it anyway.
That's not the same thing at all. They will put in accessibility controls for well understood phenomenon, like voice readers for the blind. We have no solid explanation for our symptoms. Every single claim on this website can easily be married to a counter claim on this website. And even then, they aren't going to bang out a customer version of their OS just for you.
Calling Apple Accessibility is the least anyone here can do to get a chance of resolving our problems
It's a waste of time. We don't know what the problem is, and they don't know what is causing the problem.
Doing nothing is giving up
That is absolutely false and I take offense to you insinuating I have "given up" by having a realistic expectation of the support we will get from Apple and Microsoft based on my 1 on 1 conversations with senior support staff and engineers at both companies. If you want to live in a fantasy world where you can call a 1-800 number and solve a problem that has perplexed our community for decades, go right ahead.
The correct approach is to identify what YOUR triggers are, and avoid those triggers, so you can live a healthy and pain free life.
