Is she located here in the States? Since she charged for the... advice? ...then she's practicing medicine without a license. You might try clapping back at her--& the "attorney"--with that little tidbit. Signed, a dentist/doctor who practiced for 25 years.
Today I reached 69 years old. Many times throughout 2023 it looked like I'd forever remain 68. This is a hard thing to admit, to say in public, to reveal weaknesses I fight desperately to keep hidden. No advice please. Just a nice Happy Birthday would help more than you know.

True, but she's still holding herself out as an expert and giving paid medical advice, which, if these people follow -- I'm talking saliva in the eyes -- can have severe consequences, i.e, infection.

I cut off my father 2012. Too many reasons to list. Then I cut off my mom. She not only enabled him, but defended him as well. Quinn is right: the goalposts kept moving; I called it a relationship in quicksand.
No guilt. Their loss. I'm a damn fine person.

In one of *my* subs to our group, I wrote a sex scene from the woman's POV. Her voiced concern over a non-sex issue caused the guy to go soft during the act. This same male CP commented, "A woman can feel that?"
@brookewinters33
Directors, producers, etc. accommodate NT *diva* behavior from actors/actresses all the time. Behavior the NT *chooses*. It's the norm in their industry. Yet they could make no accommodation for an autistic actor? I'll just let that sit here.

She may remind people she's "not an eye expert," but when someone has paid to hear the presentation & asks, should I put saliva in my eyes?

No. The issue is accommodation, in whatever form. NT actors choose diva actions in my example. We (ND) do not choose whatever it is we need for accommodation. Yet NTs are accommodated with no question. Another (huge) example: working from home/pandemic. Accommodation.
