DS 5 has ASD and goes to a sn school. We recently found out he is long-sighted, both eyes are turning inwards (squint) and one isn't working properly (lazy eye).
By some miracle, we got him through the testing process and he has chosen glasses. We pick them up on Friday. He HAS to wear them or he will eye up loosing the sight in one eye permanently and he HAS to crack on as there is a window of opportunity which closes around the age of 6/7.
But, he hates change, complying or basically anything which isn't initiated by him! For example, I've spent the last three weeks trying to get him to wear new shoes as he has out grown his old ones.
I'm looking for tips to help DS accept wearing glasses-all ideas gratefully received.
