Guest guest Posted February 15, 2002 Report Share Posted February 15, 2002 Dear Listmates, Does anyone have a child who has problems with color blindness or other visual processing difficulties? We have just returned from an appointment at Riley Children's Hospital in Indianapolis. They feel that our son may have a degenerative eye problem because he is experiencing color blindness and other vision difficulties (and his vision tested slightly worse than when they checked him two months ago). I asked if this could instead be a " processing " problem, and they really didn't understand the concept. I need to find an ophthalmologist we can consult with who understands " the autistic spectrum " . I know that Dr. Friedman in California is great, but we're in Indiana. We'd be willing to make quite a drive to see the right person, but I'd like to find someone closer than California. Maybe I'm in denial, but I think that the visual problems may be related to poor processing (color blindness, poor central vision, photophobia). I hope that's what it is, because the other alternative seems to be that this may be Cone-Rod Dystrophy and our son will slowly go blind. I remember someone mentioned a Dr. Neil Margolis in Chicago. Is anyone familiar with him? Is he who I would see for this type of problem? Help! Thanks in advance. Caroline Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
