Yesterday was our annual trip to the eye doctor for a check up. As always, it was interesting. Angel Eyes really doesn't like the fact that he has to wear glasses. "I see just fine without them". He also doesn't ever clean the lenses. I'm told it's not necessary. Okay. Some days they're so bad my husband or I clean them ourselves. We have a new eye doctor this year because of insurance changes, so this was his 1st experience at this office. That was the 2nd battle, after the fact he doesn't want to wear glasses in the 1st place. When we got there I had paperwork to fill out as it was both our boys' 1st time there. Angel Eyes hates to sit & wait. Once I was done with the paperwork, we looked at new frames since the doctor wasn't ready for us yet. After some prodding, he tried on several frames & we picked one out he could live with. Meanwhile he's still insisting his eyes are still fine. We then were called in to the 1st office for a tech to examine both boys eyes. Lo & behold, Mr. Aspie's eyes had very little change. Enough that he does need a new pair of glasses, though. More waiting. The eye doctor finally got to us; my younger son went 1st. He warned the doctor about his brother that just "grunts". (which he does often) Well, the "grunter" was next & he proved his little brother right. What a kid!! He was not happy at all when the doctor had to put drops in his eyes either! He about jumped out of the chair & moved his hands in the way complaining it felt like a bug was getting in his eyes.He kept trying to get up & leave the room. How do you explain your kid to an eye doctor? I didn't even try, some things are just better left unsaid. We managed to get through the appointment, placed the order for both kid's glasses & left. Phew!! I wonder what will happen when he's an adult & has to take care of this on his own. I don't want to think about that right now. One battle at a time. I've learned that raising an Aspie.
