Jade Hansen I don't know either.. I think I remember her saying in a video that before she lost her vision, she was at an age when she didn't care about her appearance too much so she didn't look into the mirror too often. That could be the reason why she doesn't remember her own appearance, but then if she remembers a celebrity, she would probably remember her family as well.. I don't know. That's an interesting question

Raven Mortensen I was a server at a chain restaurant in the early 2000s. We had a blind regular who said he would go to the same restaurants to avoid the annoyance of figuring out a new menu. We had a just out of training waiter who got him one day. He started reading the menu to the guy, barely pausing to breathe. He was probably 3 minutes in when the guy finally banged on the table to get him to stop already.

I used to work in a fast food stand and we didn't have braille menus, so when a blind person came up they often asked us for the most popular dishes. If they didn't like any of the popular dishes, they would ask for things like "do you have anything with chicken?" or "do you serve pancakes?". The order took longer of course, but that didn't bother me, and the people in line were often considerate as well.

Possibly what they meant, though not explained well, is that most places usually have a menu posted online if you go to their website, so she could always search for the menu and pull it up on her phone and have voiceover read it to her.

My mom is considered legally blind without her glasses on. She told me she only has light perception left, but with her glasses she can do everything; reading, writing, walking, looking, noticing, anything. She normally needs larger print books, but it intrests me how her glasses (with a very high prescription) make her like any fully-sighted person, yet without them she's legally blind and only has light perception, same as you. It's really cool how everyone experiences out world in totally different ways from everyone else!

It could also detect the faces of people you know and notify you who's walking toward you before they acknowledge you. I think this sounds super cool and was just wondering your thoughts? 😀

i think if you are close to the blind person (perhaps couple of feet max) and you say "Hello, sir/miss, do you need some help?" I am pretty sure, that the odds of having somebody come up near a blind person and ask somebody else if they need help are slim, unless it is in a shop or something... But of course, i also think the hand on shoulder or arm or so is the most efficient.

#asktheblindgirl I worked in a nursing home where we were taught to place food in front of the blind residents by telling them where their food was on the plate as if the plate was a clock (your mashed potatos are at 3 o'clock). One of my regulars at the bar where I worked always asked where his food was so I started always letting him know without being asked. He once came in with a blind friend and when I did that for him she got very angry and lectured me about it. Our food was very hot or he would order things that came on different plates so I was simply letting him know that his Shepherd's pie was on the left to prevent burning. Any opinions? Was I that offensive do you think? I don't believe I had any kind of condescending voice, I stated it the same way I would say "your plate is warm" to any other customer.

Disabled person here this remind me of the idea that some disabled people don’t mind answering questions about their disability and others do. Unfortunately it’s a risk you take I think it’s better to be nice and risk getting lectured than to not do anything and risk seeming insensitive or rude and let someone embarrass themselves as a side effect of not knowing what’s around them. One thing that happens with disabilities is some people are just more at peace and accepting of their disability and others I’m assuming like the one who yelled at you, are angry about it, it could be pretty new for them and they haven’t really come to terms with the fact that they are not independent adults anymore. I was raised to be an independent woman but I’m severely disabled and require help even washing my hair, it’s awkward and embarrassing and sometimes I just want to figure things out myself, because I’m not ready to accept help just yet. I hope that helps. Good luck with everything

As a fellow leagly blind person and getting worse i can say we use those expressions to. What i hate is the misconception some people get when we say "ah i see that. or o ya i can see it now" The person automatically assumes we can clearly see sed object word excetra when in fact for most of us it's more like Ya i've made out enough of the rough elements in this scene to cognitively understand whats going on here based on verry few ques and a good amagenation. Example i can still make out /read/ text on my pc my form of blindness isnt helped by making things bigger (in fact it would make it harder) But to say i can read the text is misleading i see letters as wobly bobly wigly jumbles of lines that flicker and sparkle. So i pick out enough of the overall shape to say Oh that's a t and a h in the midle there. experince tells me this is probly the word "That" skip to the next word. and so on and so foth. I'm sure theres some mis spelled words in here but the post sounds corect even tho i know theres some underlined things i've now got a headach :p so posting as is.

If you can handle emotional topics a great audio book is Room by Emma Donoghue. It was made into a movie a couple years ago. You will cry but it's very good!

I prefer listening to audiobooks rather than reading as well. That way I can enjoy a book while I'm working all day. Although I do also like getting the ebook version, so I can switch between reading it, and listening to it, whenever I want.

I have a question I hope it isn't rude! I am a sighted person and if someone behind me or near me is staring at me I get a feeling that I'm being stared at. Is this something blind people get too? Thank you 😊

i knew someone in the 6th grade who was blind (i believe she still had light perception though) and she mentioned on a number of occasions that she had gotten that feeling. especially when someone was sitting facing her, she seemed to be able to tell and asked them to not sit that way because she didnt like the feeling of being stared at (even if the person wasnt even looking at her. of course, she had no way to really tell, so we just moved to make her feel more comfortable).

I know I'm a year late, but if you're still curious about that, she recently made a few videos with Shane Dawson on his channel and at one point in the video Shane stared at her and she said she could feel the judgement. So I think she can feel when she's being stared at.

The whole accidentally replying to someone who wasn't talking to you? I totally do that haha. And I'm sighted. Also books! I love books. I love listening to the How to Train Your Dragon books because David Tennant's voice is a dream (and so is the rest of him just quietly). They're so different to the movies but equally wonderful. Also since I know it's on Audible, Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman is amazing - the audio drama? Ugh so good. Basically anything by Neil Gaiman I recommend. And he often reads his own books which is great, he has a very kind and soothing voice. It's like having a cool dad read to you.

I was totally going to say that about people nearby talking on phones! Now that everyone is using Bluetooth, it's so hard to tell if they are talking to you or on their phone! Someone told the funniest story one time about being in a bathroom stall next to someone they thought was talking to them, and it turned out they were on their phone. So embarrassing!! I also wanted to mention the Harry Potter books. There are two different narrators you can get for them, but I love Stephen Fry the best! Check them out if you haven't yet. (Well, if you like Harry Potter)

omg can I just say that the grabbing / pushing at a crosswalk or around an object drives me nuts. I have glaucoma, cataracts, and retinopathy so i have a lot of blind spots. Even though I have most of my central vision I have enough blind spots to be considered legally blind. I have a friend that constantly grabs me when we are crossing streets. I usually hear the cars coming before he sees them and it scares the poo out of me when he grabs or pushes me. I know he's trying to be protective and helpful but it drives me nuts. I've asked him not to do that but he still does it. Honestly, I'd rather walk into something or risk getting hit by a car (I haven't been hit when I walk on my own yet) than have someone randomly grab me without warning. sorry, rant over.

The context thing when you approach a person, though I'm not blind, I can see fine. But I have a difficult time processing people's faces. I recognize people by their silhouette, voice, seat in class, how the walk, how they move their hands, etc. So when someone that I don't know well, like Sarah from science class, comes up to me in the hallway, or worse, outside of school, I will not recognize them by their face. So when they say "It's Sarah from science class" helps a lot...lol I literally walked pass one of my favorite teachers in a hallway once because she got a haircut and I just did not recognize her at all.

Thanks for these tips. I wouldn't know what to correctly do to help a blind person, or even referencing their/my name first - to have a chat! There was one time, I was at shoppers and a blind man came in with his dog, the one clerk called another , so they could walk around with him to collect the things he needed. The clerk that was called over, was very confused and had to be told "you have to help this man go around the store and grab the things he needs" It was So embarrassing, and i felt insanely bad for the blind man. We sightys have it good, and shouldn't be so disrespectful of people with disabilities. Because at any point, any "healthy" person can become ill, and need help in many ways. Always be there for others, and others will be there for you when you need it most.

the way she describes it (or at least my interpretation pf her description) she would see the light coming from the lamp, she might be able to discern the shape of the lamp shade depending on how the light diffuses, and the darker colors, depending on the opacity, will either dim the light it covers or block it out entirely

Our organist at church is blind from birth; premature baby in the 1950's. When I come into the room with him I speak to him, as you say by name. "Good Morning, Bill" I never say who I am but he knows. I also lead him around the church some with an elbow. He amazes me with how little contact he needs to know where I am leading him. I make sure to keep my elbow slightly behind me to keep him from running into the door frame as we go through it.

Hi Molly, recently found your channel and I love it! I was wondering if you had any opinions on blind representation in media? And if a character is blind but played by a sighted actor? For example, there's Daredevil played by Charlie Cox. I personally think it's great to have a character that's blind and able to save the day. It would have been nice if the actor for him was already blind, but I think at least you still have that bit of representation. Sorry if you've already gotten this question! Hope you have a great day!

The ability to read and write in the same language tends to actually have some validity behind it. Are you speak Russian. However English is my first language so I can count and do other things faster in English tonight ever could in Russian and that's just because that's what you learn first that's what you've used more that's just more of what you're used to. Sorry we just had like a three hour discussion about in class one day in Russian class.
