Hi, my son was diagnosed with autism at the age of 2 and is now 12 years old. He is considered level 2 in the DSMV 5 and is absolutely the best thing that has ever happened to me. I love him dearly and he is limited verbally but has made huge progress through the years. I began homeschooling him this year and decided to give him a visual test for color blindness and he failed all but one of the questions. The questions involved colored pictures of dots with numbers inside that needed to be identified by seeing the different shades of colors. My question is how do i know if it is the shades of colors he can't see or if he can't see them due to the nature of the test and if it's actually patterns he is struggling with identifying? Has anyone else experienced this? There is such minimal information on any visual impairment and autism... so I don't know where else to go. Any input would b greatly appreciated thank you, shauna
