- In this video I’m talking about and responding to comments that I get on my videos of people saying that I’m not blind. I discuss the misconceptions that these comments are based on and why they are inaccurate.
You Don’t Look Blind
• You Don't Look Blind
Why I Wear Glasses If I’m Legally Blind
• Why Do I Wear Glasses ...
This drives me up a wall. I crochet, and I’m really good at it, because I’ve done it for decades. Because what I make doesn’t look all jacked up, people doubt my blindness. What they don’t realize is:
1. My experience helps me do it.
2. Yarn crafting is tactile.
3. I have to use visual aids.
I guess a tongue and cheek response would be, hey, you don’t think I’m blind? Give me the keys to your car and let’s go for a ride! Whee!
Love your #3, that would be fun. People are morons. I'm sighted and love these types of videos to learn about other people's world
All great points! I like that response. I’ll have to use that sometime
@@davis51369 I think you misunderstood. #3 Was visual aids and then there was supposed to be a new paragraph after that. kinda changes that just a smidge. All in all, I got your point. LOL
I remember getting the accusation of how can I type and use a computer if I’m blind. I try to make a video or two addressing the topic but sometimes I do get upset about it. Sometimes I wish I could telepathically send my vision to another person so they can see exactly what I see for a certain amount of time and then they can literally see that I can’t see much.
Yes that one is so annoying! I see that a lot online. What really gets me is that I think most people probably type on a computer keyboard without looking, so I don’t know why that is so surprising to them
I type only because I learned how to and do it properly in school but my speed is significantly slower than others due to my vision and hand eye coordination
I know right?
The problem is the way media depicts the stereotypical “blind” character. The general public have zero concept of vision being a spectrum. They hear “legally blind” and just blank. They don’t know what that even means.
What I find interesting is that these same people would not tell a member of the deaf community that they aren’t dead just because they wear hearing aids or have some usable hearing.
I have heard trolls tell wheelchair bound people who can move their legs that they are “faking it.” Having no understanding of the situation people truly inhabit.
I totally agree. Media depictions of disabled people are so harmful. And you’re right, the blind aren’t the only disabled people who are accused of faking it
I get this with my students all the time. I had a student who had very low vision with 20/200 in one eye and less that 20/400 in the other. The better eye was legally blind while the poorer eye had only light perception on some days. You're determined by your best eye so with either eye he was legally considered blind and required my services AND that of the O&M specialist! In one of his classes, the teacher thought he was just slacking off his work. She was not understanding me or him. I was walking to class with him and one of his friends was singing outdoors. I had him stop and listen so he yelled across the courtyard at him. The para yelled, "I told you he could see! He's faking it!" I started to explain how kids with low vision fill in visual gaps and how he heard his friend but I decided not to waste my breath on her ignorance. I save my explanations for people who ask intelligent questions and want to be educated. I appreciate your videos because there are some home living skills I wanted to show a high school student.
I'm not blind. I began watching your videos when I started writing a new novel. Part of the story concerns a man who loses his sight as result of psychological trauma. Your videos have helped my research enormously and it never occurred to me to question your blindness. I find it extraordinary that people are so ignorant and cruel. Thank you again for an excellent video, exploring another important aspect of blindness. I know you won't stop making your videos. You're good at it and you strike me as strong and determined. I admire you enormously.
Thank you so much!! That’s really awesome. I always love hearing from sighted people who watch my videos
I am also blind myself and sometimes get ridiculous comments from people and so I understand what it really means it’s disgusting but don’t let that stop you from making amazing content
I have a bit of the opposite- "why don't you wear glasses so then you won't be blind"... LOL. I do find it super annoying when the sighted public thinks they can dictate how it is we should define ourselves. I have to roll my eyes when sighted people say, "well you know I'm legally blind without my glasses".
Great video!
Yeah it seems like we get one of two responses from society, either whydo you wear glasses if you’re blind, or maybe you should try glasses lol. And yes I get annoyed too when sighted people say they are legally blind without their glasses
My favorite thing the last couple of years is when people tell me that if I change my diet, my eyesight will greatly improve… If only.
Hello Cayla. As a sighted person, I’m sorry you have to go through such terrible comments. I’ve experienced similar because I’m autistic. More precisely I’m on the autistic spectrum. I really struggle with many things in my life. I’ve had really bad anxiety issues and it’s horrible when people dismiss it or look at me as if I’m misbehaving or something. I’m feeling well over all, it’s just the odd comment that I struggle to cope with. Anyway, much love to you. You’re awesome. Sending hugs from England.
Hi! I definitely understand. It seems like every disability group gets their own brand of ignorant comments. Also thank you for your comment! I love hearing from people with other types of disabilities
@@CaylawithaC Thank you for the reply. I really enjoy watching your videos because I learn a lot. I feel a lot more informed than I did before I started watching your videos. More people should see your videos.
@@Ben0001 thank you! I’m so glad you like my videos. It really means a lot
@@CaylawithaC My pleasure 😊💙
Great video. This is such an important topic. I get told all the time that I don’t look blind. All the time people think I can see because I wear glasses, but in reality, I’m totally blind. Blindness/visual impairment is definitely a spectrum, and we fall on various levels on that spectrum. I think that’s important for the sighted community to understand that.
Thank you Ashley! It’s really sad how common This is in our community. That’s interesting that you wear glasses even though you are totally blind. Do you mind if I ask why?
I was born 3 months early, and because of this I was diagnosed with Retinopathy of Prematurity. Growing up, I had no vision in my right eye, and very little in my left eye. I was legally blind, and started wearing glasses at the age of 2. I used a CC-TV to read print, and I also learned braille. 9 years ago I lost the rest of my sight due to sudden onset of Glaucoma, and now I’m totally blind. Upon losing the rest of my sight I tried not to wear my glasses since I couldn’t see anymore, but I had worn them for so long, it felt so weird without them. I just decided to keep wearing them. Then 3 years ago, I had to have surgery on my right eye, and I had to get a prosthetic cornea for the right eye. Now wearing glasses feels like I have another protective layer to my right eye since a large part of it is now removed. I’ve gotten so used to wearing my glasses that life just seems strange without them. Thanks so much for reaching out.
People question me as well especially when I'm cooking or baking they do not know that I'm blind but you know when you're passionate about something not even your disability will stop you
@@CaylawithaC Thank you for all your tips about cooking and doing laundry it actually helped me a lot be a little bit more independent
I’m 65 years old and I was diagnosed with RP at age 6 I loved what you had to say about the comments that you get about why do people think I’m not blind, most of the time people ask this because I look “normal” the thing that disturbs me sometimes is that people will tell me I should not use my disability card because I’m blind and not crippled this happened to me at Costco parking lot , a wheelchair person told me I don’t have the right to use a disability parking spot. I told him I would agree with him. If he could do one thing for me, if he would go to the back of the parking lot blindfolded and make it to the entrance of the store, if he could I would abide to his command.
Hey Cayla, Hayden here. I like to think that having haters means you've reached success in some way. Those people have nothing better to do than to pick fights on the internet with people they don't know. I'm proud of what you're doing with bringing more light and clarity with everything you experience. Keep up the amazing work!
Thank you so much! And that’s a good way to look at it
I have cerebral palsy and visually impaired. When I was younger I couldn't see my eyes in the mirror or other people I got strabismus surgeries but they didn't help my sight only to straighten my eyes. When I was 8 I could use my visual aids. My vision get worse every year it's been a year without my glasses though my vision was worsening before then. Now I see shapes and colors I use my memory.
Ok, I'll have to give you that one. "Staring at the Wall" was funny.
Thank you for this video Cayla! I've never had anyone accuse me of not being blind. One thing is, I have a nystagmus, so sighted people can often see my eyes shaking. Keep doing what you're doing, my friend. You rock.
Thank you!!
I know what You mean I have the same problem too.
It can be frustrating myself a lot of times myself .
Be strong my friend
Love your videos and the information you share. My RP was diagnosed 4 years ago (I am 60 now). Until then, my sight was gradually diminishing. Thought I was free of the "Family" curse, but it was just a slow mover. I have had to learn new ways to do things, and accepted my cane use 2 years ago. My central vision is good, so I am blessed. However, people say "you don't look blind". Once while grocery shopping with my Husband, someone tossed a coin toward me and it hit my foot... I didn't see it until it stopped moving... didn't give them the satisfaction of picking it up. Keep doing what you do so well - you are a voice for us.
Thank you so much for your comment! And that’s really interesting how your RP showed up so late
I AM JUST STARTED MY TRAINING WITH THE WHITE CANE BECAUSE I AM STARTED LOOSING VISION AND I AM LEGALLY BLIND. I LIKE YOUR VIDEOS VERY MUCH BECAUSE YOU TEACH PERONS LIKE ME WHAT TO EXPECT FROM THE REST OF NORMAL PUBLIC WHEN THEY ARE CURIOUS IF YOUR ARE REALLY BLIND OR NOT WITHOUT KNOWING, AND START ASKING QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS CONDITION. THAT WILL HAPPEN.
It's really frustrating to know that there are a lot of ignorant people everywhere. I remember someone told me before that I was not blind because I was able to use the computer and smart phone.
It is very frustrating. That is a pretty common misconception. I guess a lot of people haven’t heard of screen readers
Can you do more videos about learning Braille or make a playlist
I’m not sure if I will make more braille videos because I am not a braille teacher or expert. But here is my most recent braille video ruclips.net/video/l2V1kuZS6uU/видео.html
Great video Kayla. I always enjoy your content. Peoples ability to make Snap jundgements based on misconceptions and stereotypes never ceases to amaze and irritate me. I plan to do my senior thesis on how blind is representation in the media impacts social attitudes toward the visually impaired community.
Thank you! That sounds like a really great thesis
Thanks. . I am somewhat terrified about the research going into it because I’ve heard from friends that it’s really hard class but I’m also excited to dive into the subject and finally be able to put academically recognized title of the things I’ve felt in a case for a while when it comes to social attitudes and how the media influences them.
Thank you for this video. As a sportsman with low vision I surprise a lot of people that don’t know my history. When I finish playing, my team helps me get my gear away and get my cane and then the jaws drop. They say I can’t or shouldn’t be able to do it. I’m still learning and I’m still adapting to my skills even better.
That’s really awesome! I bet that does surprise a lot of people
Amazing! I´m an athlete steadily losing my vision to a rod-cone dystrophy and knowing I´ll have to quit playing competitively and will lose that close team bond has been the hardest part of my vision loss. What sport do you play?
Preach girl!!
Yes! This topic gets me a little fired up. I had to get a little sassy lol
@@CaylawithaC
Cayla you need to watch the 3 RUclips videos I did.
If you don't remember I'm Jacqueline and channel is called Jacqueline Andrews.
i can totally relate to what you are saying. i have not gotten the "you don't look blind" comment, but when i make a comment, for example, about how pretty the snow looks in winter or something similar, people say "how do you know?", or, "i thought you were blind". i think comments such as these come from a lack of understanding that blind does not mean a person can't see anything at all. i myself am not totally blind. but i identify as blind because it more accurately describes my vision impairment.
I can definitely relate to that. Even though I can’t see very much at all there are still things I can see like snow on the ground or Christmas lights that I may comment are pretty and people just have a really hard time understanding that we can find the beauty in what little we can see
Hello ,I get this all the time ,Because I love working with cars ,And people always say that I'm not blind because blind people could never do the things that I do. Most the time I do not have an answer for this ,but something I always say is that some sighted people cant do the things that I do. Love the vidio ,keep up the great work.
Thank you! I bet you do get that a lot. People just can’t seem to believe that we are blind if we do anything out of the ordinary
i went to the job center and after talking to the lady for ten minets i told her i vas vi she started to speak slower and clearer i said to her its my eyes that dont work very well not my brain you think they would know better keep up the good work
Exactly! I don’t know why people do that
I deal with this ALL the time in day to day life. At this point, I generally laugh at people and don’t even say a Word. It’s great that you explain what your level of vision is here. I actually did not know, but just take you at your word. Anyways. You rock Cayla!!
Thank you!
Thank you my brother and I have suffered from these comments from people before.
As a visually impaired 18:37 youtuber myself, I get those comments occasionally if meeting a new person at starbux. When i'm asked how i use my phone, i'll turn up my volume and type a sentence in the notes app, so the person i'm talking to can hear how voice over reads.
Great video! I haven't had a common on my channel yet as I have not long started but I have definitely had horrible comments in person. I have had people say that I am faking being blind, swearing at me and just being so horrible. I also wear glasses as they do help me see a little bit clearer and I am the same as you in that I have worn glasses since I was six so it feels weird not to wear glasses, so I think people do get confused when they see me with a white cane with glasses and sometimes looking at my phone or doing something that looks sighted to them.
Most of the time I just shake It off but there have been times when it has really upset me and ruined my day. Sometimes it has made me feel really upset. I have even had people question me about being able to do my job.
I guess we just need to keep educating people as much as possible.
Emma xx
I’m really sorry to hear that. Fortunately I haven’t really had any horrible comments in person. But I can definitely relate to everything else you said
I have LCA myself heard this before. I still can’t get o ec the “you’re too pretty to be blind”
THANK YOU. I look forward to hearing from you.
Sweetheart, there's always going to be someone that says you're not blind enough. They say you don't look blind or act blind. They are full of it. Just keep doing what you're doing and ignore that crap. Some people aren't happy unless they are miserable and they want you to be miserable as well. If you're not totally blind, you're not blind enough. You're doing great and please keep doing what you're doing.
Thank you! You are so right
It’s very common. I made a comment about not wearing glasses in a video and someone started saying people fake it all the time on RUclips. So I deleted my comment just so his comments would be deleted also. Trolls need to grow up.
Ugh that’s so frustrating. It’s not that so many people fake it on RUclips, it’s just that there are a lot of blind RUclipsrs and people just didn’t know that that many blind people existed or that we don’t fit their stereotypes
Number one thing I hate is when they use words like "over there" or people that pop up and start talking to you with out telling me who they are. I might have talked to them a bit, but only been up and close a few times.
I agree, very frustrating
Very nice answer
Hi Cayla,
This was a great video, and I thought you did a wonderful job. I don't get accused of faking blindness outright when I'm meeting someone in person, but I have gotten remarks like: "if I wasn't standing close to you, I wouldn't think you are blind. "Or "you look too pretty to be blind. "
But I have been accused of faking blind when I comment online. Remarks like: "stop faking blind! Because if you are blind, how are you typing? Or are you just copying and pasting? "
People further become confused because I have a very visual brain, so I can talk about colors and visual aspects, and that seems to throw them off. I also have a love for photography which often questions people's concept of blindness.. I don't know. People have the weirdest notions. I think most people really have no idea what the heck seeing means anyway. They automatically think that seeing just means looking at something with their eyes, when in actuality, there's a lot more involved. And everyone sees differently.
Anyway, keep up the good work.
Thank you! I get those comments as well. I also have somewhat of a visual brain too which just confuses people even more
I remember that meme you're talking about and it pissed me off. The meme didn't bother me as much as the amount of people who shared it on twitter and the comments that followed. If it's the meme I'm thinking of I think it got over or close to a million retweets. The ignorance and lack of education shows we still have a ways to go before disabled people in general are part of any discourse that genuinely cares about inclusiveness. Inclusivity dominates the mainstream landscape, but oddly I feel the disabled community is as marginalized as ever.
Mike Callaway
You know some encouragement is all we disabled people need.... but instead we get bashed in the head and told repeatedly that society deems us as unacceptable. How could society deem us as unacceptable when we are people too??
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
You know society needs to open up their hearts and stop treating us as if we were or we are the man from Shawn of the dead or the man from Jason goes to hell.
I totally agree with you Mike! The comments on that meme were infuriating. And I often say that disabled people are the most marginalized marginalized group
You are amazing person I support your Channel if no one told you today you are doing amazing job
Thank you so much Travis! You are always so sweet
@@CaylawithaC I hope you guys have a wonderful thanksgiving
You nailed it Cayla . If someone said your not blind to me I reply how do you know you a doctor 😁. It's hidden disability, sighted people need to realise this. Keep up the good work Cayla 👍
Thank you! That’s a good response. I have once congratulated someone on their ophthalmology degree lol
My Eye Dr. Specialists in Boston all recommend Blind VI people wear a pair of glasses to protect their eyes from injuries as a huge percent of the population still has some degree of vision and or light perception therefore they need to protect their eyes. Sorry if there's typos.
Oh yes . Because I made it from my chair to the reception desk at my doctors office, that I had been going to for 5 years, I must not be blind . The receptionist asked me to fill out papers so I told her I was going to need some assistance because I can’t see the print . She actually said , “ it appears you can see just fine .” 🤷♀️ The reception. Desk was literally six steps forward from my chair. My dog was lying under my chair so I had him stay while I somehow managed the six steps . LOL
Oh my gosh that is so rude and ignorant
Cayla! Love your videos! How do you film/edit your RUclips videos! Thinking of starting a blind cooking RUclips channel!
Hi! Thank you! I actually have a video on the topic. I think it’s called how I make videos as a blind RUclipsr if you want to search it
I get this very often because I like to push my barriers and I hope you stay strong and well and what a very amazing video well done and I am fully blind and a long white cane user and I only have light perception and blind people rock and it upsets and hurts me so much and I just block them and remove the comment and I love exploring and building stuff and I losted my eyesight because of a double brain hemorrage caused by the Manchester arena terrorist attack in 2017
Oh wow. That must have been so scary. I’m so sorry to hear that. I’m really glad you survived and I am honored that you watch my videos ❤️
@@CaylawithaC thank you so much and I hope you keep strong
I know how you feel I get people doing that to me too😊
People are so Ignorant. I have a little vision left. I tell people that i’am blind, because outside of my house my vision is pretty much useless. I get told all the time that i need to wear glasses and my vision will be fixed. Good to know i’m not blind since i play guitar, bass, drums, & piano lol.
Exactly! My vision is useless outside my house too
This does point to why I don’t typically refer to myself as blind. I am legally blind. I see less than 10% of “normal”. (With correction.)
Because the “normal” people are ignorant and trolls gotta troll, I generally just call myself legally blind or visually impaired. They don’t understand legally blind but it seems to defuse them if they are looking to attack me for my word choice.
I get that. I don’t want to cater to them though just because they don’t understand. I’m hoping that maybe one day they will understand
You tell them Kayla well I haven’t done a comment yet saying that I don’t look blind Great video keep it up and wait what your blind I haven’t noticed you get the golden toe
Wow the golden toe! That is quite an achievement
Which glasses do you use
As a blind you tuber, I have yet to be accused of not being blind, but I have gotten strange comments as well, mainly referring to whether I am single or not recently. Also, some guy actually told me he was single. In real life, I have been asked questions about my blindness and people seem to be surprised over the smallest thing. Some have trouble believing that I can do some of the things.
That’s good that you haven’t gotten these comments yet. Don’t be surprised if you due at some point though. It’s something we all deal with
I quite like your hair styled this way 😊
Thank you! I had just gotten my haircut and she styled it for me. I really want to learn how to curl my hair myself, but I am afraid of burning myself on the curling iron
@@CaylawithaC safety first. Curling irons are so dangerous. It's too easy to burn your fingers with them
We may not look blind,. But we do know how to do things in our daily lives,. Like a normal sided person Does period. You know how to operate just a little bit differently you know?. And we may not look blind,. But we know where the camera is because the direction our voices facing you know?. We can hear the camera sound you know?.
Just ignore them, im also legally blind
Trolls are gonna troll.
Live and let live
OK I know you have blind ambition and I see what you’re trying to say however I don’t know any other blind people but you which is strange because I get most of my information from you or the Internet but you’re the single best source for blind information. I do believe most blind people have to have a good sense of humor and that sighted people just don’t get the fact that you have to remember where 2000 separate items are around the house I do really good until somebody comes to visit and starts moving things. I do have a box in my house that is where if they find anything on the floor or it seems to be where it shouldn’t be they put it in the box and then I review the box of stuff after they leave. However when people talk to me about being blind the one thing I tell them is I’m going to tell you a story that’s going to change the the rest of your life you will never do something the same way again if you can handle this I’ll tell you. So when they agree I tell them the thing in life that upsets me the most is stickers on fruit. You are simply wonderful and I will tell you what my father always said and that is there are more horses asses than horses. Don’t let these people get you down we may be in the dark because of things that happen but they are in the dark because they’re jerks :-) and you have to be sorry for them.
Thank you! I’m so glad you find my information about blindness helpful
@@CaylawithaC I just can’t tell you how important your videos are. Stay strong we will fight the good fight
I've cooked for a living. My Father and I owned and operated a Floorcovering business, installation and sales. And, I'm legally blind. With that said, I can't tell how much of this crap I've had to deal with too.
Unfortunately it seems to be a pretty common occurrence in our community
Sometimes I wish they go blind just for an hour so they can experience the difficulties we face.
I agree. It would be nice for them to be able to understand
🤗🤗
Yes Society is one of our biggest enemies or nemesis they would rather have of sitting at home stuck in a corner not knowing that we're a untap commodity but v m not knowing that just a little bit of adaptive equipment goes a long way and our lives specially today with technology to where it is yeah believe me I know I live it everyday but the thing about it is as I said Live and Let Live we have enough going on I live for them to try to keep their foot on our backs
Yes I get that all the time but thing of it is is that I tell them I'm good with me and it took me a long time getting here so if you want to think that I'm not line I just don't see the way you see but I can see
🙌 this so agree
I must say as a visually impaired man working out doing things. I imagine they be like if visually impaired man can do these things he does then what’s stopping a with eyesight from doing these things? If I make off things I can do as a visually impaired man this comment will be long I’ll say visually impaired folks aren’t sitting around waiting on a death angel nope they enjoying life God blessed them with. Btw I been your subscriber 5 years hard too believe.
Wow thanks so much for being a long time subscriber 💛
Luckily and I’m glad that I don’t hear that I don’t look blind I use a cane
For all of you out there who sing that certain people are not blind they are blind so it's not right for you guys to say that I feel like that's very messed up cuz just because someone can see a little bit doesn't mean that they're not blind they're still blind or with love vision so for all of you for all you to say that oh you get a fake that no more not because you can don't know I would like to be blind you guys don't know and you guys will not understand me it's not understand if you guys don't have anything nice to see Don't say nothing at all do you understand
How about this one you don't act blind and I'll say how do I suppose to act
Blind people,. Can also make good iContact they can hear which direction the persons voice who they’re speaking with,. And they can face that direction the persons voice is coming from so they know they’re paying attention.. you know?.person’s voice
Yes that is a great point!
Tellem like it is my friend
Can I and nothing that I do is I just ignore those comments so yeah just ignore this comments cuz cuz I'm sorry to say about those people they will never understand I wanted to like to be blind or something will never understand just don't listen to them cuz those people you know I was coming
I just have a few questions..hopefully, u can answer! :)
1. Can u cook if u are legally blind?
2. Can u read?
(pls reply)
I'm blind, so I'll answer your questions.
Yes, blind people can cook. A lot of states provide in-home independent living training for blind people to take, so they can learn how to cook, sow, do laundry, travel, use computers, use smart phones, etc. Some blind people who have lost their sight just adapt without any kind of training. They're awesome like that.
Yes, blind people can read. Cayla uses a screen reader on her computer & her phone, so the text is read to her. A lot of blind people use braille to read. I still have enough vision at this point to use a screen magnifier on my computer to read what's on it. If it is something really lengthy, I'll use a screen reader, because my eyes do get tired very easily.
Absolutely blind people can cook. We are not helpless and there are plenty of adaptive items we can use in the kitchen. There are blind professional chefs, one of them won Top Chef a few years back and runs her own restaurant in Houston. Yes, we read too. Depending on our level of vision loss as well as our personal preferences, we can read print with magnification, many blind people read Braille, and a lot of us use audiobooks which yes, we do consider reading.
Blind people can do anything they want. Talking devices help them. Like the saying goes where there is a wheel there is a way.
Yes I can cook. There are different tools to help blind people cook such as a talking meat thermometer, and I use my hands a lot more than most people do. And yes I can read. For most of my life I was able to read large print so I learned to read the traditional way. Now I use a screen reader so everything is read to me and I can also read braille
We also may not look blind,. But when you see us with our canes out in public.. That’s how you know we’re blind you know?. I’m just trying to make a point here,. So y’all can understand y’all Cited of people out there,. you know?.
Exactly!!!
Hello, You have very bad vision, I'm legally Blind I have Stargardt's, I was born with it however it never affected me until the age of 17, That is also when I went to see the eye Doctor. My own Mother still refuses to believe this....says the Doctors are all quacks, Even though you have it alot worse than me...I understand, Im not as smart as you working on my G.E.D because when I was in high school most my teachers acted in the sameway..It is abit discouraging your well educated an still have all the same issues, an here my job counselor was saying it was just because of my education.
I’m sorry you had a bad experience in school, but that’s great that you are working on your GED. I think in a lot of cases education definitely helps, but there will still always be discrimination and ignorant people no matter how educated you are
I ignore the comments are you blind and yes I'll talk to him about it but like then if I still tell me oh you're not buying there fingers like that and then I just ignore that saying I just ignore those people cuz those people don't know what it's like to me with low vision or legally blind or totally blind and I have never gone accused of oh you're not blind that's what I want to do is ignore those people and would ignore the bad comments
A dumb question can somebody just reply here and tell me how to put a like on a comment I can’t figure it out and there’s lots of P comments on here that you people have made that are wonderful and I would like to write them all but I don’t know where the button or how to hit like it is. I am using an iPad Pro with voice to text or voice over so please let me know thank you you all need to hang in there
I don’t think it is a dumb question, I can’t figure it out with VoiceOver, either. From what I can see, VoiceOver doesn’t see the button. Hopefully someone has a solution!
@@shessassy thanks even if it’s not how to do it you made me feel better for knowing it’s not that easy. I think we might actually have to stop voiceover go out hit the like button and then go back in but I wouldn’t know where the lake boat is in the first place. Take care fight the good fight
Hi:
When you see the comment, swipe down, and voiceover says: "like this comment. ". Then double tap. The thing is, it doesn't always tell you that you've liked it. But it does work.I hope that helps. Let me know if you need further clarification.
Go back to your comments and read instructions I appreciate your input

Not to get crud. But, the one that tops them all is, "How can you be blind and have sex." That's just too much. Please don't let what all these stupid people are saying.
I hope nobody is stupid enough to ask that? 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Oh man that one is the worst
@@kevindavis4709 Trust me, there really are people that stupid out there. They walk among us!
@@Positivekitten I wouldn't put it past them.
Good Lord. I'm sure you only wanted a can for a fashion trend it's not like you can pick those up easy. Especially talking devices. What it is they are going on outward appearance your eye structure basically stereotyping. And you got the remember those people making comments are in their comfort zone behind a computer screen or their cell phone screen. I would not have known you are blind unless you said so. And I know you wouldn't have talking devices just to help them and a cane for a fashion you can't get those things easily they have to be prescribed. Some people come up with some crazy stuff these days.
your husband is a lucky man, coz you're a dream...
You're not blind. Haha! I just had to say it. It sounds like your vision is very similar to my own. Good video.
