To ask you to help me with my ipad

[ASAS]

Please? For some reason I now need to press the home button 3 times rather than just once. Also once I do press home 3 times I need to swipe past the previous screens rather than just go straight home. It also no longer rotates the screen.

Please, MN, please please help.

Sounds like accessibility options have been switched on.

If the screen doesn't rotate, swipe up and see if the rotation lock button (the padlock with the arrow around it) has been set on.

Don't know about the home button though!

Agree with NotAnotherHarlot- sounds like accessibility option is on
Try Settings> General > Accessibility > Home Button. You want it to be Default rather than Slowest I think?
