it is possible to fake it online as an online image. There was a streamer faking that he was stuck in a wheelchair (not a part time wheelchair user but completely paralyzed so people had pity on him and gave him more money). Then one day he stood up by accident. So yeah, money and attention, what I assume this girl doesn't get as much anyway so yeah. I think people are just too close minded, they're not informed enough about blindness awareness I guess. So don't judge that if you can't understand and make research or ask??? I can't get people.

I remember being about 12 when I went to my grandma’s house who was blind. I remember my dad announcing to her that I was there and she looked at me and said “you’ve grown up so much, look how tall you’ve gotten!” I was so confused because I thought blind meant seeing absolutely nothing, but she could see my outline because I was in front of a bright window. She could also see some light from a TV or other light source. I was so amazed that being blind didn’t always mean complete darkness.

@@vic_cresss Well technically yes, though personally I prefer to use the term "blind" only for those who either have so strong prescription that they pretty can't function without glasses or those who couldn't get glasses strong enough to fix their vision. (just FYI:My prescription is really weak so I can function perfectly normally without my glasses for the most part, only things like driving is where I absolutely have to wear them as my long distance vision is too bad to do it safely without my glasses). That said even with medical definition of "blindness" there's degrees, with only the most severe cases being a total lack of vision.

How do I say this... completely blind people I’ve talked to “look” everywhere with their eyes, as many don’t really use eye cues in non-verbal communication. However, I’ve seen people who became completely blind later in life still “track” things with their eyes even though they can’t visually see me. I know this isn’t applicable to you as you have light perception, but I think it’s really neat how our nervous system remembers to do such things, even though they no longer serve us any purpose.

It’s important to not be narrow-minded. I was once sitting alone in an outer office waiting room and a woman walked in the room, made perfect eye contact with me and started signing. I began to reply to her in sign language (I was there to volunteer my services to a home for those who were deaf and/or blind), but she just kept signing. She wasn’t vocalizing. Then, somebody came out of one of the inner offices, looked at me and said, “She’s blind” and began fingerspelling into the woman’s hand. I sat there amazed that she knew exactly where I was and seemed to be looking right at me. I learned from that experience that it is important to understand that there are various degrees of hearing loss, as well as various degrees of the loss of sight - so “blind” doesn’t mean you can’t see anything at all, just like “deaf” doesn’t mean that there aren’t certain frequencies that one can hear. I am utterly amazed that somebody would argue with someone who IS blind and try to explain to them why they’re NOT blind…!?! (WTH?) How about we all just admit that there are some things that we need to learn and zip it, hmm? As the Bible says, “Even a fool is considered wise when he is silent.” Proverbs 17:28 Why open the mouth and remove all doubt?

Why would being sighted not allow someone to play an instrument? lol. I'm in my schools orchestra and we do blind folded challenges, biggest part about learning an instrument is muscle memory along with ear training. Though, do you find your blind students have a harder time learning more complex songs since they have to memorize them? I find I rely on sheet music a lot (I have bad memory. )
@ASLAnissaOfficial
6 жыл бұрын
Well there is Braille music. But I didn't use it with my student because she happened to have perfect pitch. And it's not hard at all. When you are being classically trained, You have to memorize all your music anyway before you can perform it. She just listened to a recording when she forget something rather than checking the sheet music. If you are blind you dont use visual memory anyway, so memorizing by ear isn't as challenging as it would be for a sighted person.

Tommy on the flip side was born blind. He has no notion of sight or the nuances sight brings to our gestures or communications, etc. He could, say, look at Molly when she's talking, but why? To make you feel more comfortable? LOL

He both typed AND coded and was blind from age one. So not everyone is using voice dictation, some are actually TYPING because they learned how and they use a screenreader as assistive technology to read back or voice what they've typed. I'm so glad you have this channel Molly, such a great way to educate people and create understanding. Cause people assume the strangest things!

He died 4 years ago, I wish I had found your channel back then to further educate myself and understand what he was going through. Thanks Molly, you make this world better.

I feel like some people are so used to seeing the way blind people are usually portrayed in movies - staring straight ahead, blank eyes or closed eyes, always making a big show of touching things - that when they see a blind person who doesn't look like that, they assume this person can't possibly really be blind. I remember there was an actress on a TV show here in the UK, playing a blind character. Apparently, she got loads of comments about how she was terrible at 'acting blind.' Of course, the actress actually *was* blind.

Being blind or deaf or having some kind of "normallaty" discrepance is very often seeing as someone weak and in need of pitty. You show a strenght and a sense of natural trust around your enviorment that shook the idea of creepling blind people who cannot go outside without help. Great example!

HI, I was just perusing interesting videos and came upon yours. I am a 73 year old healthy pretty darn happy massage therapist and I just loved your video. The first one I watched was the animal communicator- that was what interested me because I do a bit of that myself and when you talked about having a guide dog I thought 'why does she have a guide dog' you didn't seem to have any disability. So I put your name in and got this one with your description of being blind. Honestly how thoughtful and kind to take the time to explain to the 'seeing' why you look so 'normal'- excuse the term. You and your dog are quite a delight and hearing your experiences is very helpful to me just understanding more about you and what blind folks deal with. Thanks so much again. You are just delightful and I'm so happy you care so much for your dog to really hear his thoughts- I have often been concerned about service dogs and wondering if anyone finds out how they are feeling and here you are doing it.

There was a guy a grade above me (he has now graduated this year) named Cody who was born with detached retinas. He had the full smokey white eyes that are stereotypical with blind people but he never wore dark sunglasses. He even was able to walk around the large high school campus on his own with no help. He would often times ask people to accompany him to places saying he needed help but everyone knew he didn't. They went with him anyway because he was just the kind of person that you can't help but like and you would be hard pressed to find someone who didn't like him. He was very upbeat about his lack of sight and never passed up the opportunity to laugh and joke about it. He liked to freak people out with how good his hearing and memory was but calling out to people by name down the halls that were talking to their friends. It was pretty funny. He knew about half the school by just their voice. That's about 500 kids right there. He was on the percussion line for band and was damn good at the drums. He was decent at the xylophone too. Never underestimate a blind person.

I'm 21 and I also have RP I was diagnosed at 8 years old mine type of RP is different from yours but my grandmother who also has it (its genetic in my family and skips a generation) is now completely blind she lost her vision at 35. And I've noticed as I've been getting older it gets worse and I go to sick kids in Toronto to monitor it and do genetic testing but other than that I cant do anything there is no cure right now. And I'm so happy I came across your channel because as someone who knows I will be blind one day (I already have no peripheral vision so I have tunnel vision) it's amazing to see someone else overcome it and learn from it and want to help teach others.

As someone who does not have any experience of something it can be difficult to know what is and is not offensive without a proper understanding and also feel that you can't gain the proper understanding by asking as that would be rude. So I love that you have a channel answering all the questions I either already had or didn't know I had. I have often wondered why some people wear dark glasses and some don't, but I'd never dare ask because that is rude. Now I know that it's possibly because of light sensitivity.

Some people think she can see, which can lead to weird conversations. She's not that into sunglasses unless she can't wear her eyes for some reason (like a stye). She watches a lot of movies and television, some of it sans audio description (though it's kind of become second nature for me to describe stuff). And now I'm rambling. Sorry about that! ;-)

The whole thing about typing if I’m blind, I’ve gotten this so much! And explaing it to everyone is so exhausting and so damn frustrating. It gets to the point where I want to answer by lashing out at them and being brutally blunt with them! But then, I’d most likely get some replies from people saying that I was a psychotic bully and they would remember to never ask me anything again. I don’t use extreme vulgar language with people, it’s just that it gets old when more than one person asks this question in such a bullying judgmental way. I on the other hand, do not like being mean. But it’s gotten to the point where I’m embarrassed and scared to say on the internet that I’m blind. Because the ignorant questions people ask make me want to isolate from the world because of it. People don’t exactly offend me, it’s just that saying that I’m blind is a nerve-wracking thing for me.

Some people fake all kinds of things, so if someone saw a video and WONDERED IF Molly was faking, I think that's sort of reasonable. But you better be damn sure of what you're saying before you start levelling accusations. It always amazes me how people will latch onto some little apparent inconsistency and think that their powers of perception are far superior to the rest of the world. Then no amount of explanation will change their mind. there were a few things I wondered about with Molly, like how she was able to apply perfect makeup, but instead of going into the comments and ranting about how she's OBVIOUSLY not really blind, I figured that she has developed ways of dealing with the problem. Obviously not having been in that situation, I wouldn't have any idea about that.

I was born with no vision in my right eye and only partial vision in my left. When i was 12 I had a prosthetic put in my right eye to make it look more normal than it did because it stayed closed. So when people say "oh your not blind" I get the pleasure of pulling my eye out and proving them wrong lol. I can't lie the shock on their faces makes me laugh. But I am also high functioning; I am working on a Master's in Professional Counseling, I have modeled and I work a regular hourly job, so I also get people doubting me when I tell them.

@MsLiliblue I could tell stories for days about the things people do, I am sure Molly has a ton of them as well. The most common comment i get is "you need glasses" to which I respond with "I am for the most part blind so I don't think that will help". I have told people about my disability in stores and they have grabbed me by the arm and start leading me around or start talking to the person with me because if I am blind that must mean that I am deaf and dumb too!

Im blind and use a speech to text app. And if my app doesn't work and sticks occasionally ? I have a friend who will comment for me. I'm listening intently here, I read braille and can't write anything down anymore sadly. I've only been blind since October last year, I still create hundreds of songs though , just takes alot longer than it used to do... Much love to you and ignore those who think you can see, Light to me is also glary! And extremely painful, it's overpowering ! Born blind is not the same as being blind later in life as we are left with little reminders of sight, seriously blurry areas of colour if light is present.. But absolutely no night vision, although street lights can give us glary splodges ,appearing like clusters..;-) Good luck in all you do ;-)

It’s sad but is so true everything she is saying. I personally appreciate everything you are doing Molly!!!! I am 17 and I have Macular Degeneration. People usually think I lie about being legally blind because I do my makeup or because they don’t see me with a cane. I appreciate your KZitem channel. People don’t understand that we still can live productive lives just like sighted people can. And you are really representing the blind and visually impaired community very well.

cycatwoman I’m not blind I’m visually impaired aka legally blind. I can still see. But to answer your question I use my accessibility feature on my phone to help me when the text is too small or I’ll just screenshot it and zoom in that way to read it. Something people need to understand is that people who are visually impaired or blind can do just as much as the sighted but we do it in a different way. You guys write, we Braille. You guys count money with your eyes, we use money identifiers. Technology is so advanced today that there is all types of equipment that help us to do just about anything.

cycatwoman it fine!!! In the blind community, there are different levels of blindness. Some people’s vision is weaker than others. I was blessed to still have a good bit of my vision. My eye disease is progressive so there is a chance I could go totally blind one day.

It is really bizarre how ANGRY some people get at disabled people (particularly ones that don't fit into a very tiny box or stereotype they have in their mind.) I've definitely experienced that. How we look and present ourselves and manage our own lives has absolutely nothing to do with them, yet their ignorance has such a stubbornly angry and accusatory tone. I wish everyone was aware by now that disabled people come in all sorts of forms and appearances, both naturally and how we choose to express ourselves. It's ridiculous how many people (and doctors) in this day and age with the internet, with so much collective knowledge and experiences at our fingertips, still don't realize the validity and vastness of how we come in all ages and forms! So many people still only think disabled means you need a wheelchair 24/7, when there is so much more than that! And so much understanding could come if people just sensitively ASK questions before assuming ANYTHING about conditions they do not know about or understand! So much can be cleared up so easily and simply if people didn't assume the worst or have such close-minded views!

Rosie Posie I think you took the words right out of my mouth. So why does everyone have to be close minded? What you just said about people being close minded reminds me a lot of my brother and my step dad and sometimes my sister. You know kids were not very nice to me when I was younger and I kind of painted a picture in my head of everyone being bullied.

People seem to think being blind entails being unable to function in any given situation. Yes if you blindfold someone who can see they're gonna struggle but that's because they can see on a DAY TO DAY BASIS, they're not used to not seeing, but the funny thing about people who are born blind or have been for a long time is that they're used to it and use their other senses and and the technology around them to do normal things

I was born blind. I didn't have sight until age three, and even then, I was so reliant on my other senses I forgot I could see. I am colour blind though. (Yes it happens more in males but that doesn't stop women from it too)

I have to say, when I first stumbled across you channel, I had my doubts about you being blind. Not that I thought you were that type of person, but wow, there are just some times where you carry yourself so well it's hard to believe. I don't think I'd have nearly your level of spacial awareness if I lost my sight. Of course now I realize how silly it was for me to question. I'm a sighted person who has no experience interacting with blind people, they just aren't common in the town where I live. However, I find your videos amazingly interesting and I appreciate your patience in educating people. A lot of people's rudeness is from ignorance and I think your helping people not only interact with blind people, but people in general. Everyone has a definitely perspective and it's important to think about others. Thank you for all you do.

People saying "you can't type your blind" makes no sense to me. When i was in elementary school we had a typing unit we had to do because they were converting everything to computers. They told us the reason the J and F keys have the little bumps on them is so blind people know where the keys are so they can memorize where the letters were, like if you have sight and you type you don't have to slowly type and look for each letter if you type enough you develop muscle memory of where the letters are. Why can't people just think about the every day use of things.

I love this. This makes me think of how when I’m texting I often use the phrase “It’s so nice to hear you say that” in response to something someone texted me. I guess technically I should be saying “It’s so nice to see you say that” but... it just doesn’t make sense 🤷🏻♀️ I love the way you explained this
