Hi there MNetters,
My son is nearly 8 and has very severe ASD and has very poor vision in one eye. He is absolutely terrified of bright light and whilst the rest of humanity is enjoying the sunshine, my poor boy is shaking with fear. I had to practically manhandle him on to his taxi this morning and I don't know what to do. He has a very specialised vision prescription and he has only had his glasses since December so I'm not sure where I can get prescription sunglasses from (or if he would consent to wearing them!) but I really don't know what to do.
His school are amazing but after a really difficult Easter holiday (have twin toddlers as well) I am at my wits end with the sunlight phobia. If anyone has any advice at all I would really appreciate it.
Thank you!
PS sorry for any typos, I'm on my phone...
