I am on the autistic spectrum and wear spectacles. If anything gets on the lenses (for example small ammount of dust, a bit of sea spray, small bit of oil, a partial fingerprint) it gets to me, more than I would expect it should, I often see people with dirty or even cracked glasses who appear to be unconcerned. Could this be a symptom of my autism, please?
It is not that I don't notice my vision getting cloudier with dirty glasses, it is more that I can't make the association until things get very bad.
By the way, the alcohol hand de-germifier makes a spiffing job of cleaning specs. There was also a fluffy baby face cloth available from pound World which cleaned glasses with no liquid needed, just a bit of breath, but now pound world is on the way out I haven't seen them for some time.
