Just had my first ever eye exam. Lots of judgey comments about why I'd never been seen before. No responses to my replies on that. When I asked to know what was happening/ what he was looking for, nonanswers. Kept stopping him from doing things he hadn't explained even after I said I needed to know what he was going to do before he did it. Stopped complying at one point because he said he was just going to shine a light and then proceeded to use a thing to push on my eyeball. #actuallyAutistic

I felt like a car with a mechanic. He did not care about what I had to say. He just wanted to use his tools on my body without having to explain or get my consent. Only AFTER the appointment did I learn that there was a "patient bill of rights," whatever that is. I left the appointment and cried in my car.
