Recently, my daughter had to go for an eye exam. We’d tried contacts once before, and she hardly wore them, so we skipped the next year. This year there’s a boyfriend, hence the new interest.
The visit to the optician caused me to wonder. What happens when an autistic child needs to visit the optician? Is it a struggle for the parent, the doctor, and the child? Is it a fearful experience?
My next question is: how does a parent tell if the autistic child needs eyewear?
Please send your comments on this subject to help me learn yet another aspect of the autistic experience.
