What I learned from being blind...

I often get asked if there is a cure for my eyes. Here is what I've learned as a blind person and my stance on a cure. This is how I'm expanding on the mission of my content to see things differently. Introducing SEE DIFFERENT show and co.

I must say, dude, you have gone incredibly far given your legal blindness! Unfortunately, too many people sell themselves short and see their disability/ies as a hindrance from even attempting to try new things. I'm glad to hear that we share the same stance on trying to cure a disability. I'm a proud autistic individual and my autism make me, me. I wouldn't have it any other way, it is who I am. Yes, it can hinder me in many ways, however, I prefer to focus on the positives of having an invisible disability such as Autism.

James!!! I like the design and love everything you are working on. I'm so excited for you!

[terryenby]

This is so exciting! I am physically disabled, I am autistic and I have PTSD. Life isn’t easy, but learning about the disabled community, and feeling like maybe I am not the only one. We all have disabilities and new ways of experiencing life, and enjoying or learning things.

It makes me feel grateful for the things I can survive, and excited for the future despite the pain and unknown complications.

Thank you so much for all your work! Thank you for making this content accessible too.

Man, you are a perfect case study of a person who makes the most of life despite the things that are stereotyped to take people completely down.

True, you were 'born like this for a reason'. And 2 things: #1 I was friends with a blind girl in school and I sat by her during art class. The teacher treated her like she was stupid and it bothered me. Just because you can't see doesn't mean your intellect is lesser than. #2 just a tip for climate change belief, look up 'suspicious observers' YouTube channel. They explain how this is scientifically normal basically, and humans can't change it. We are too small to control something so big. Keep up the good work!!! ❤️

I have 20/20 and I use VoiceOver for ebooks. But I think accessibility helps us all primarily because people get to spend their time doing their thing, benefitting the community, without needing to face barriers that don’t need to exist!

Love everything you're talking about here and just subbed to the podcast

James, building off of people who are non-disabled using accessibility; Sarah Herrlinger, the head of Appl Acesability, said that she used the magnifier. I remember when you interviewed Tim Cook, he said that he used the HomeKit app for automation.

If you are looking for an organisation, Alphapointe and No Barriers are two great ones! Thank you for all that you do!

Actually, one last thing. I wrote a speech about two years ago, and was wondering if you would mind reading it? I can attach the link in a comment, send it in a DM to you on social media or email it to you.

[jqyhlmnp]

I should really watch the video before I decide to comment something

[jaderamos]

Ooo soo excited for this See Different podcast. I’m a legally blind artist who also has nystagmus. Raising awareness about different aspects of advocacy / various lived experiences as disabled people. My art is at oneojo on Instagram if you wanna check out. Can’t wait to hear about others in the community also doing their thing! Thank you for all that you do! Can’t wait to get my merch order. Such a cool cause to support ❤️

[paulabarton]

What a great post. I am visually impaired from birth. I was in an accident and became a quadriplegic. This is awesome what your doing. I was wondering about the merchandise you were talking about that represents the nystagmus is that on your website to purchase at this time?
