Specs...

Corey has come a long way in his journey with autism.  Things that were once impossible are now, to our amazement and delight, no big deal.  Corey's "autism doc" (http://drkendalstewart.com/) suggested it was time to have Corey's vision evaluated and to look into the possibility of prism lenses as they can help with focus, both visually and with mental focus and processing.  We did the eval (http://www.ocvt.info/), and got an Rx.  When we went to get the glasses, we knew that Corey had never been willing to wear sunglasses, silly glasses, etc. in the past for more than a minute or two, tops, but figured we could work on acclimating him to his new glasses gradually.  I let his teacher know what was going on and we formulated a plan for the acclimation process.  Turns out all that prep was totally a waste of time and energy - Corey simply started wearing his glasses and decided that he looks "handsome" and "smart" with them on - I can't argue with the truth, can I?  Funny thing is that another child in his autism class has glasses and has decided Corey's are cool and is hounding his mom to get him glasses like Corey's.  Funny kids!
