[Blindmath] problems reading PDF scientific documents

[Michael Whapples]

Its good to hear that you are having some success.

As for diagrams, yes they probably will need some help from another 
person, however there are a number of tools out there which may help 
you. Some are commercial offerings and cost others are free and 
sometimes part of a research project. There are tools for both viewing 
and creating diagrams. I have just finished preparing some examples for 
a workshop on creating diagrams within LaTeX documents, the particular 
package I am covering in the examples is a general drawing package but 
there are some packages which build on it for more specific diagram 
types (probably even ones for electrical circuit diagrams).

There may be times when it all seems hard and the odds against you, but 
keep pushing and you should manage to succeed in the end. Feel free to 
ask more questions if you have them (eg. if you want more details on 
accessible diagram software).
