    My dad would get mad at me for sitting too close to the tv or for not recognizing people. They never thought to have my eyes checked until my Kindergarten teacher had the school test my eye sight

      In 2nd grade at age 7, they tested us with the basic eye test chart. When they asked me to read the first letter from the chart, I asked “What chart?”

      I literally couldn’t even read the huge E on the top of the chart. It was just a huge blurry white rectangle on the door to me.

      I got in trouble for ‘acting out and refusing to take the test’ or some shit like that. Ain’t that about fucked up?
