Good luck. I think it would have to be glasses for me. I'm too sensitive to even put eye drops in my eyes, so contacts, I'd assume, would be a no go.

That's going to be my guess for me as well. I have difficulty putting stuff in my eye, but my wife said she was the same way and swears by contacts.
 
Friday meetings should be illegal. ..this is nonsense
 
Just read the article/news about the Cleveland teens that tricked the autistic boy into doing the "ice bucket challenge", and promptly ripped the class of teens that I teach about what is wrong with their generation and the need to do things for the sake of posting on social media outlets.

I just do not get it.

That kind of stuff is ridiculous. Hate hearing about these things happening constantly.

The power of social media and the way they are wired to think that getting "hits", "likes", or "favorites" is important to their day to day life.

Pisses me off.

Agreed. Youtube can make people a lot of cash now. Scared for the new generation.
 
I had such a problem reading that article. Being around autistic children and young adults most of my growing up it pained me to hear about this.

Just read that article, and agree with you. I just don't get it. Can't believe they could be that mean to others.

I have several I teach or have taught and they are all near and dear to me. It infuriates me.

My GF worked with special needs kids for years and specialized with autistic kids. One of the kids she worked with was being bullied recently and it just killed me when I found out because he was so sweet.

I hear you I had. 3 today.

Although to be fair in one of them we played Pictionairy and A version of Pitch Perfect.

After reading the replies about this article I don't think I should read it. I'm sure I would get angrier than I should.

Like many of you, it's a condition that is near and dear to me and I try and support several times a year.

I just read it and kind of wish I hadn't. Nothing but anger coming to me towards the teens who thought this was acceptable and funny. I don't get why people have to be so mean to each other.

Ryan. I just dot get it either. I honestly don't.

Does it make them feel better about themselves?

On a brighter note I get really overjoyed when I see a young person per- teen or teen do something nice for another kid or elderly person. Things like that give me hope.
 
Look what I found at Epcot
