Re: sighted verses blindness mindset

Re: sighted verses blindness mindset I would like to have hearing like that. Since I can not take advantage of sight anymore, I would like to take advantage of my hearing. Post 16 really made me appreciate having hearing to lean on and use, and so I want to start training my ear to hear

Re: sighted verses blindness mindset I was walking into an appointment to have my picture taken for the Senior class thing in high school. It was in the auditorium, and clear as a bell, I heard the principal at the front of the room explaining to the photographer at a whisper about how I

Re: sighted verses blindness mindset

Re: sighted verses blindness mindset @16 that is a very interesting perspective of blindness. When someone is blind, it doesn't make basic tasks impressive, when someone is deaf it doesn't make basic tasks impressive, but because I do not understand what it is like to be both, it makes me

Re: sighted verses blindness mindset

Re: sighted verses blindness mindset I started going blind when I was 10 and the biggest thing that helped me was going to the blind center in my area, and seeing an actual blind councilor to help me.  We'd talk through problems, and he had the actual perspective I needed to understand

Re: sighted verses blindness mindset

Re: sighted verses blindness mindset For me, walking the streets a lot with a cane improved the way my brain turns subtle sounds into useful information. When I had sight there was no way I could tell there was an obstacle in my way just by sound. I think you just simply have to give your

Re: sighted verses blindness mindset You put this thread in the appropriate forum. The off-topic part of the forum can be used for pretty much anything as long as it's not breaking laws or flaming people, and this clearly does neither. In other words, you're fine here. Don't worry about

Re: sighted verses blindness mindset A well-educated counsellor will not do what you're worried about, Ironcross. They may never fully understand what it's like to be blind, but the good kind of counsellor - and trust me, they're out there - will ask questions and get a strong grasp

Re: sighted verses blindness mindset

Re: sighted verses blindness mindset I don't know how to help you find a counselor who can fit your needs, or how to go about it. That process in itself might be somewhat complex. I don't like how people who have studied about blindness think they know everything there is to know about

Re: sighted verses blindness mindset

Re: sighted verses blindness mindset I never had perfect vision, but I could play Mario until I was 14.33. And you know what else? Prior to that, I made it very clear that I did not care one way or the other, so long as I could still play video games. And lo, the Lord laugh'd out loud

Re: sighted verses blindness mindset

Re: sighted verses blindness mindset I can't speak from the perspective of someone who lost vision after having it. I was born premature and am totally blind. There comes a point when you have to decide if you're going to let that fact prevent you from doing anything or if you're willing

Re: sighted verses blindness mindset

Re: sighted verses blindness mindset So for someone losing their vision, that's got to suck. I don't know which way it happened for you, whether it was gradual, or just happened, but it sucks. Either way you slice it, that's a tough situation to go through. The thing is, it's what you have
