Hi Thanks for replying, katie has a condition called Micropthalmia, where the eye stopped developing, she is blind in that eye and it is very small ,has any heard of it? I will certainly ask about the S.S.S. when we go to specialist again Thankyou. she is supposed to wear a 'false eye' but doesnt bother, her attitude is if people cant deal with the way she looks thats their fault,not hers :) I really am very proud of her, but I am hoping she is going to give the false eye another go, as now she is getting older I think it will give her more confidence, but if she doesnt thats fine too, she is used to people staring nudging etc, (however I am not, and still blow my top now and then, I hate it when they stare, and over the years have said alsorts of unpleasant things to them, but so what !!!)I dont blame them for taking a second look because she is differnt, but not to stare opened mouthed and nudge friends etc to look too grrrrrrrrrrrr ) I plan to read all your comments on dyslexia tonight so hopefully I will pick up a few more tips. Thank you again bye for now sue
