Question/Need help My toddler (2.5) is colorblind. Can anyone help me support him?

11 Upvotes

Hi all, apologies if this is a frequent topic, I didn’t find anything from searching.

My son is colorblind (red-green). My maternal grandfather was colorblind so I know where it came from but I’m positive. I’ve been watching him for a while with colors but the clincher was when I used a colorblind simulator app and took a screenshot of something green. It did not look green to me at all, more gray and I’d never have guessed green but my son knew right away.

Anyway is this something we need a formal diagnosis for? Any tips at all? I want to be thoughtful of telling people so they know what to expect but not prompting “what color is this” quizzes which have already started. How can I help him?

I’m feeling very sad for him especially because his dad is a pilot and he loves planes. I hate that he can’t ever be a pilot like his dad (if he’d want to).

Anyway I’m hoping knowing this young/early will give me the opportunity to set him up with any support he needs.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN ITS ORANGE

Anyways I remembered when I was a kid I saw a painting that I thought was pink, everyone said it was white, I thought I may be colorblind but decided I was just looking for attention
Forgot about it
Drew a character with this color as purple
To my dismay, next drawing I decide to use the color picker
ITS A PALE ORANGE???

What could this mean? I've taken color blind tests but never failed them

It seems to only be certain pale reds and oranges I confuse

Question/Need help Failed Ishihara for CC EASA testing, help with further steps

HI, I have failed the EASA Med Exam for the Cabin Crew position on the Ishihara test(red-green color deficiency). Reality was that I answered 6 out of 9 correctly.
So as I know in that situation, a doctor might provide additional testing to see if your vision is enough for operational tasks, but unfortunately, the doctor was in rush and denied me taking any additional testing. I am sure if I were not stressed out I could answer correctly 9 plates. But at the moment I was very stressed.
So Now I got failed, but I want to report the results to have another chance to take the test again or possibly to be checked for my operational abilities.
Does anyone reported the EASA results and could help me to understand is it wort to try or answer is gonna be negative.

Survey Post Monthly Survey Post - Post your surveys and research participant requests here!

2 Upvotes

We get an unbelievable amount of requests and attempts to post surveys, research studies, university projects, and more. Historically, the mod team has taken the position that the members of this subreddit are not lab rats or research subjects, and have removed these posts.

We're trying something new. In this post and this post only we are allowing requests to be posted so that the community members can choose whether they want to participate in any studies or surveys. We are establishing the following rules, which are subject to change at any time:

Rules For Surveys:

  • Genuine research and interest studies only - your survey must be linked back to a university, college, foundation, business, studio, or other entity. You are not allowed to just come up with a survey "for fun" or to satisfy your personal curiosity.

  • You must post your entire pitch as a top-level comment under this post. That comment must have a link to your survey, do not ask for respondents to comment or DM you to get the link. Do not use URL shorteners or obfuscators - you must link directly to your survey.

  • You must clearly and completely state the intent of the survey and how the responses will be used. If your survey benefits a for-profit enterprise, such as a game development studio (yes, even if your game will be free), you must disclose that in the very first line of your comment.

  • Failure to abide by these rules, using bait-and-switch tactics, or posting poorly-constructed, misleading, or disingenuous surveys will result in an immediate ban from this subreddit. If your research is connected to an official institution, I will find and contact your professor or boss to let them know you screwed up. I am absolutely that petty.

  • Respond to all questions and comments under your survey link, publicly, in a timely manner. If people are asking you questions and you do not answer them promptly, your request will be removed and you may lose posting privileges altogether.

Reminder To Users:

  • Participation in any study/survey is entirely voluntary and none of these links are approved or endorsed by the mod team or reddit. You may withdraw your participation at any time, and we encourage you to do so if something doesn't "pass the smell test."

  • Do not enter your personal information on any survey or provide this information to any user unless you have absolutely, positively verified and validated who you are giving this information to. Never enter your password, credit card, or banking information on any survey. If a survey requires that you create an account, use a unique password that is not the same as or similar to a password for any other account you have.

  • Report any surveys that are suspicious or which you think do not abide by the above rules.
