[QUOTE="paul-1976, post: 419303, member: 54871"] Hi there! I can't help with the eyesight issue but I have Asperger syndrome too as well as Type 1 diabetes,crohns disease and have endured 2 operations for colon cancer and as an aspie I have found it all extremely frightening as health care professionals do not always be 100% clear with all the details and do not always stick to previously agreed treatment plans which is a big NO for me and I imagine for other Aspies as 'If's and maybe's' do not bode well with me..I NEED the facts and I need to see them in black and white,exactly how they are as my thought process doesn't allow for grey areas at all and any treatment plan agreed MUST be stuck to and I would say that ALL doctors involved NEED to be fully aware of what ASD's are all about and give your daughter 100% of the information,100% of the time and if they agree to a plan they MUST stick to it. Depression and Aspergers go hand in hand in my experience and myself,my wife and our children(who also have ASD's) are isolated from family and don't have any friend support but I have found the national autistic society useful in my area as they have support for families and also through them I have met up with local aspies for face to face meetings and I've found that very useful in sharing our experiences in life and realising how much we have in common,here's a link [url=http://www.autism.org.uk/living-with-autism/parents-relatives-and-carers.aspx]http://www.autism.org.uk/living-with-au ... arers.aspx[/url] My best wishes to you and your daughter Paul [/QUOTE]
