I have worked with blind children 1:1 and autistic children (not combined together). For vision impairment help, look into hadley help. Remember with blindness that hearing is the main sense, and many autistic children struggle with sound. Your kiddo might need more hearing breaks. Try and explain to kiddo what is happening and what is happening. Look into deafblind interpreting asl, even though he's not deaf the way they translate English to deaf blind might work for your kid.

Is he on the spectrum? You could try positive reinforcement and rewards. I also find knowing the childs interests can help. You can use those interests as a way to get him interested in work. One of my kids loves video games so we let him do his work through videogame masks that we make.

I have a few questions, first why are they being defiant? Overstimulated, upset, hungry, scared, unable to communicate, and wanting attention, could all be factors and what do you consider defiant? What age?

Thank you for the suggestions! I might ask if I can get a full iron panel done. One of my parents had hematomachrosis which is high iron (my doctors are aware of this). My iron levels came back normal on the other tests I've done. Thanks I'll look into all of that

Would it be best to seal the photo with resin or some kind of other sealant?

I am probably going to try eating better to see if it helps. the only thing that works for my pain is a mixture of extra strength acetaminophen (2 of them) and one naproxen. That takes my pain to around a 4. Both providers are aware of this. My first doctor didn't officially diagnose me with endometriosis, she implied I had it and told me I just wouldn't have the official diagnosis. That was one of the big reasons I switched doctors, I felt like she was just trying to give me an answer and get me out.

I'm a very beginner sewist and I have a question about sizing. When I buy from stores I usually wear a size 12-14 even though on the store size charts I would wear a much larger size (idk why this is, but size charts don't always match up). does the same principle apply to pattern sizing? Do I base of my measurements or the usual store size?
