Neurologist mitochondrial autism

[Guest guest]

I m very ignorant about this subject.

My oldest son wears glasses, and my youngest my need too

With overspending about every 3 months my son decides to get angry and break his

glasses

is very$$$$$$$$$$$$$, also I talked to an OT that recommended for us to go and

test him

on this , cause it may have to do with mitchondrial disease and not far eye

sight, since he

seems to do better this year than last year at our regular opthalmologist.. so

we don not get

it.

Back to subject anyone in Texas know about this?? any info or advice?

Also do you know anyone in Tx that you will recommend to go get my boy's tested?

I found some info here

Try to get an appt with Dr. Frye at UT in Houston. He is very

aware of our kids and mito issues. Also, try taking your son to a

behavioral optomotrist. My son needed special prisms in his glasses

because his eyes do not work well together. The prisms help to

focus.They have therapy to help, but it is not covered by insurance.

I am trying to figure out how to pay for it. We also went thru

several pairs of glasses destroyed in fits of rage - so I know how

you feel. The lenses are a little more expensive than regular, but I

really think they help because now he actually wants to wear them to

see. As far as mitigating the expense, I think it is Eyemasters that

usually has a deal " 2 pair for $99 " going on. It will be a little

more than that due to the lenses and they can't make them in a hour (

usually next day).
