I really wish you could give me lessons on how to sew. I am sure you would be able to explain it so well and how to do it all by feel. I have tried it, but I don’t have the talent to design clothes

My friend has had two dogs. When the older one retired he became the house and yard dog. Whenever Mike said, we're going to the park or we're going to the bus or whatever it is, his dog sprung into action eager to go. Dogs don't know if we are going to the bank or the insurance company. They know that we are going for a walk and they get to come. The moment they arrive home, Mike's dog is the family pet. He's a very well behaved who gets regular checkups and the best food. He's not working again until the next time they go out. It's not like the dog has a 9 to 5:00 job. They go to the store or the bank or the dentist and then they go home, were the dog has the run of the house and yard. He retired his first dog when he slowed down and was obviously tired, on busier days. But even after retirement he continued going on shorter excursions. I can't think of any pet animal that gets to spend so much time doing the thing they like to do most.

Thank you so much for the awareness. My daughter has ocular albinism being Japanese mixed and only 4 yrs old. We are still learning what works for her. Please follow us and help us find her diagnosis. Docs don’t know what’s going on with her legs so we’re turning to yt

I was learning braille before (I’m legally blind with the possibility of going blind) and my dad was saying it’s pointless because technology exists.

Thank you for posting.😊

The Solutions Looking For Problems are hitting the blind? Why does this timeline have to suck so hard.

as someone with total blindness total as in prosthetic eyes kind total. i disagree with the staring out of the elbow thing another folk pointed it out in the comments while i see nothing of tfe outside world the brain... does see there are often some very colorful moving specs. round sfapes of beautiful midnight purple and sometimes green. shades of grey purple and yellow at times. and i developed navigational responses so if i hear a sudden noise or something touches me all of , sudden i get flashes in my eyes. its ,ll internal both of my eyes are prosthetic as in most of it surgically removed but still my elbow sees truely nothing. its honestly shocking how varying the spectrum can be. awesome video tamara keep it up.

Woah, cool! I didnt know about that canes came in other shapes too! I love the green skirt and brown belt you’re wearing in the demos, it’s such a cute combo 💚

“Hm I relate to a lot of these, maybe I have it?” People on the AS also experience these symptoms “Oh nvm lol”

Idk if this has anything to do with what you say, but i have/had these mannerisms. I was born blind and for the first months of my life i didnt have eyes until an experimental treatment developed them (i was born 6 months premature but i stopped developing at the 5 month mark). I dont have autism so i wonder if these early moments put them in me

Me, an AuDHD person with a genetic visual disability : *aggressive flapping with extra staring at the closest lamp intensifies*

When I was in 4th grade we had a little boy named James who i believe is completely blind in my class who had a Perkins Brailler. I totally forgot about this, but when I saw this on your video, it made me genuinely happy to have my curiosity settled. 😊

Whats wrong with your face

Thank you so very much for these lessons. I am used to using a PC, but am brand new to the Mac. I find this very helpful. Thanks again and blessings on you.

So Caucasian having very light eyes are actually albinism 😢

I have a blind friend. We know each other since school. He can read braille and is working for the city. I thought every blind person got to learn braille. It's even helpful for ppl who can see. Same with sign language. It's crazy for me, that not every blind person got to learn it.

I am wondering: would it be possible, to do print braille with something like a cricut?

Yes i would guess the biggest overlap btwn blind people and autistic people is sensory issues and anxiety/overwhelm.

I lost my vision as of December 2022. I thought I was blind because I don’t see anything centrally, however, I do have a little bit of peripheral vision on the right side, which isn’t great. Your comment about not seeing anything, like seeing out of your elbow, puzzled me. I consider myself blind, but I see just blackness most days and some days. I see a background of color. Sometimes the colours are bright yellow, or rose, coloured or just white which really just annoys me. I think it is called PHOSPHENES not sure of that spelling. Maybe on another video you can focus on that term PHOSPHENES and explain it to me. Thank you.

Sometimes I will be honest if I don’t recognise someone I haven’t seen in a while I do pretend to recognise them as when I say sorry who have I got here. They see their name but in an upward inflection as it indicates slight offence at the fact that I did not recognise the voice. Unfortunately. If I haven’t seen someone in over a year and they don’t have a drastically distinctive voice I’m not going to know who it is at all. So not understanding or seeing social cues or people in the room doesn’t make us rude and if we’re not laughing at something everybody else is laughing at that. Also doesn’t make us crap and boring. But we can appear aloof and serious. If we seem that way, it’s probably because we have no idea what’s even going on. We miss so much more than people realise. I’ll be honest I have laughed in situations. I have absolutely no idea what is going onto. Just as a quick social cushion for me and my anxiety.

In the US, do they measure sight in percentages? I ask because we’ve never done that as there’s so many different varying spectrum, so there wasn’t really a percentage thing. It was more of what you can see thing, but sighted people always ask me what percentage of vision I have, and there is no real answer for that. I know it would be low, but It’s a spectrum so I wonder if it’s even calculable.

Sighted autistic here. My guess is that since eyes are sensitive and move interestingly, they're effective for stimming (which despite stigma isn't limited to autistic people): if someone's eyes don't need to be kept clear for sensing, then they'd have fewer downsides than for sighted people, so choosing them for stims more often makes sense.

Dang! I’d have to be a genius to figure all that out! God bless you❤❤

my vision is mostly corrected with glasses, but i have astigmatism and exotropia and myopia and photophobia and also... something similar to nystagmus. when i focus very hard or on something small my eyes shake horizontally. this is pretty interesting

Thank you for fully describing how you did this. Thus video taught me to thread a needle and being blind I've always been afraid I'll poke myself

👩‍🦯🦯🤝🧠♾️ Stim buddies!! 🤣💕

I personally love JAWS

I love my no jab cane but it doesn't help very well. I'm a bit accident proned

I am not qualified to speak on this issue, but thank you for educating! Before watching this I thought that braille was easily accessible, but I guess not so much. Going to go learn more about this.

Braille books are expensive and hard to come by - especially in rural areas. I wonder if the socio-economic advantages a family might have to get braille for their child are the same advantages that would help the child finish school and obtin employment. In other words I think it's a compound issue. Having braille books in public libraries everywhere would help a lotbwith this. My local library as a kid had them, but I didn't realize how rare this was.

Thanks!

At the part where you were sweeping your cane and said "I definitely don't", you came across a really dark patch of wood. My brain thought it was a vent/hole in the floor! 😮 I knew you wouldn't trip, cuz like, it's your own house, but I had to pause the scene to focus 😂 Your floors are beautiful by the way! ❤

That’s amazing. I’m blind as well and I would love to soe. I’ve always wanted to make my own clothes. What adjustments do you make and how do you go about doing it? I’d love to fix several things in my wardrobe to fit me better.

A lot of it could be correlation

So true! I have moderate ME/CFS, POTS and fibro, and my ability varies a lot from day to day.

"stare out of your elbow", that's great, I love the comparison

Wait, did you print your own hard copy of Return of the King?!! That is insanely awesome!! ❤

I used to think that strabismus was my fault as a kid. Like patching didn’t work due to not complying. I thought my eye was actually lazy.

OFF TOPIC BUT YOURE SO PRETTY

lmao I’m sighted and cannot do eyeliner

I find it silly that needing glasses but being correctable to 20/20 is not considered visually impaired. I am looost without my glasses.

My mom's job for the last 25 or so years has been designing interior signs for church buildings (the room numbers etc) and can actually visually read braille now, and often points out places where it's wrong.

I always love using your videos to help people understand better just so concise.

I have vision that is corrected with glasses, but it wasn't until I was in my 30s that I had an optometrist tell me, "You're blind as a bat, but you've probably been told that your whole life." Uhh, no, and gee thanks. I wasn't sure how to respond, so I just smiled and nodded. 😐

I've put on bike shorts backwards AND inside out on some particularly exhausted mornings😂 I guess that's what i get for cutting out the majority of the tag so it doesn't feel distinctly different, you can just see the little bit of white left in the seams from it

Not meaning to sht post on interesting/usefull and accurate information (love your channel, btw) but Strabismus and Nystagmus should TOTALLY have been Tolkien wizard names. So... Do with that, what you will.

I’m completely blind. I referred to totally blind people or people with near total blindness, light perception, maybe shadow perception as totals, and then legally blind, or like very close to total blindness I refer to as Partial. Blind enough to need to read braille, but not blind enough to be completely blind are the partials.

As always, thank you for sharing everything about Vision Loss/Blindness Spectrum to help People learn more. I have enough remaining Low Vision in My Left Eye (with My Glasses) to do certain tasks everyday. Also have Nystagmus where My Eyes will shake Horizontally really bad, when I try really hard to try and see something small or far away. (I get slight Headaches or Eye Fatigue from those moments.) However, I mostly have the Muscle Control to keep My Eyes from shaking, if I don’t strain Them.

I have many of these. Along with less than 1% in left eye and 10% in right eye. I also get pressure behind the eyes.causing pain. Also dry eyes / red eyes (not not to be confused with pink eye). I was born sighted but lost 90% at fhe age of 2. Xx

Really informative, thanks!
