Guest guest Posted January 17, 2005 Report Share Posted January 17, 2005 - Hi Shripal, I wanted to give you a little more information about me. I was in the Navy,and not the army. There was way too much structure that I felt very restricted. I also wear glasses since I was 10 years old. I have 20/400 vision with strong astigmatism. I have very poor eyesight. My eyes are sensitive to sunlight. I was to wear sunglasses outside. I don't flourescent lights in classrooms,but I am physically sensitive any way. I don't have the physical sensitivity of autistics though.
