Guest guest Posted May 17, 2001 Report Share Posted May 17, 2001 Ok, I have become the mommy I always dreaded: OBNOXIOUS! Today had to have an eye exam. I refused to let them dilate her eyes. They asked, pushed, insisted but I stood firm! I said she is autistic and that would " just send her! " I promised to bring her back in a few months, but I doubt I will. Her vision and depth perception were great. So why dilate her eyes? I was freaked out ahead of time because I wouldn't know if the drops contained thimersol. So I went there expecting to refuse. On a positive note: due to the diet and her ABA therapy, she was pretty compliant with the test and I was so proud of her! She couldn't have done it 1 month ago! She didn't like me covering one eye though so we didn't finish that part. So now we are truly on the fringe of society! 1) we no longer vaccinate our kids, 2) we are increasingly concerned about the government (I'm talking about the school district here), and 3) we are doing a very odd diet! ROFL! Hugs, H mommy to , 3.5 yrs, PDD; and 2 yrs, NT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
