[quote=Anonymous]Maybe in a technical sense being nearsighted is a visual impairment, but I can tell you as someone with pretty extreme myopia that it is NOTHING compared to having a child with a developmental disability. I don't have to tell most people, its pretty obvious. Yes, I can remember my parents' tears when they learned -- gaso -- that I would need glasses. There were no support groups back then, no where to turn so they were isolated in their grief. Give me a break. And I'm not referring to children whose vision issues cannot be corrected. I have a child with an ASD and i am HIGHLY offended by this analogy.[/quote]
