Hi to the group, Hope this mail finds everyone in great spirits. To give some context, I am totally blind from birth. I have not seen anything except for lights, colours and shapes at a very close proximity. I wanted to ask, how can we develop our finger motor skills like moving our fingers smoothly and fluidly or methodically opening a packet or cutting straight using scissors. Are there good training programmes to teach you such skills? The next part of my subject line, I have noticed blind people including me tend to do some weird things like, some blind people grip someone too tightly which is not required. I have been pointed out by trusted and caring family members to move or keep my hands in a weird way. I also tend to grip a spoon either too firmly or too loosely. I also cannot visualise when someone instructs me to hold a particular thing straight or tilt it. My question is, has someone realised this, and how can we optimise ourselves to behave very naturally and in a way, that our disability keeps reducing to be a part of our identity day by day and we become more normal?
