If you read any mercury / autism info you will notice sensitivity to

light is a big indicator. Sometimes mercury impaired also have trouble

sweating and are bothered by heat . It is hard for them to regulate their

temperature. Just a thought. It the only thing that stands out for me.

Yes, mercury toxicity can cause dilated eyes and heat sensitivity.

Here is more information on that.

If you believe this is your child's issue, please consider having him

tested for mercury and other heavy metals. Here is my site section on

chelation, for your information.

Photosensitivity is common for ASD kids. Our DAN doctor recomended

wrap-around sunglasses whenever outside. (We got this written into

another child's IEP, and it ended the upset behavior that used to

occur whenever moving into or out of the classroom). It is also

common with people who have multiple chemical sensitivity, heavy

metal toxicity, and take certain prescription drugs.

My child's sensory issues greatly lessened as the diet progressed,

but mercury chelation had the greatest impact.

blocking his eyes from the light, except for indoor lighting, which

usually doesn't bother him. Is there something I can do to help him

with this?

can get him to leave his shirt on? I have tried everything I can
