How can I get people to accept my son's vision?

So I have a lovely 8 month old who has a diagnosed visual impairment due to a larger medical disorder. He's not blind, but is going to be visually impaired and the impairment cannot be fully corrected with glasses. He may be legally blind. The doctor has looked at his eyes and it is clear from the exam that something is not right. Here's the problem. People want to tell me he's just fine because he's mostly developmentally on track. He's crawling and pulling to walk. He can see for a short distance just fine, but loses track of things that go too far away. He's good at predictable things and seems to see some colors better than others. I can see the struggles,but people don't want to believe me. I point out when he is struggling or that he might not see something like a bird in the sky and people act like I am being mean. But he can't see see those things. It is reality and I'd rather accept it and work with things he is good at than pretend he's going to be playing baseball just fine. How do I talk to folks about this in a way they will get? I am also worried that the family that wants to pretend he is fine won't moniter him wellw hen they watch him and he'll walk off a cliff or into a glass door or something. That is a real risk. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2XuhNGi
