Two of my dc with autism experience eye issues . I’m also autistic and have had similar.
I have twice lost sight partially in one eye after meltdowns the optician said this was due to blood vessels ?
my ds has done the same and lost vision in one eye completely for 24 hours
my dd when stressed upset anxious etc will start trying to scratch her eyes and pull at them and we have to distract her and restrain her if it doesn’t work as she really hurts herself it seems to be she feels severe irritation when she gets upset we wonder if it’s the sensation just before you start crying ?
I just don’t know what to do and haven’t heard of anyone else experiencing eye issues like this with ASD .
