People say "disability", I'd say it's more like Unique/ability/diversity/strength. Happy day to you all, be blessed.

Jesus loves you ❤❤

Love your positivity!

I know it's a bit personal, but if you don't mind me asking, how much can you see and what is your condition?

i went to school with a blind person who used a braille note taker, and i had no idea they cost that much ohmygosh 😱 i was always so fascinated when the braille changed as she was taking notes

God i love your channel so much. Im a sighted person that is occasionally involved in the blind community. But always interested in accesibilty for everyone

I want to preface this with the fact that i do not read braile, nor do i speak sign language....However, i believe we should ALL need to learn a basic understanding of both in school. A large portion of our people are deaf and blind, we should all understand how to effectively communicate. Learning to read and write simple braile and learning simple sign language should be something we all know. Also, they are the two senses that we all may experience losing with age.

There are all sorts of accessible skiing options!

My husband is a professor in the statistics department in a very large university in the U.S. (no more info than that for privacy reasons). One of his colleagues in the math department who was teaching algebra had a blind student a few semesters ago. She (the student) went to the campus’s disability center and arranged to have a note taker in class and to have those notes turned into braille. (For those outside the U.S., disability services are offered free to university students who 1) have a medically confirmed diagnosis, and 2) go to the disability center and ask for reasonable accommodations. The professors aren’t told what the disability is - although they knew in this case; they are just given a list of approved accommodations that they need to implement). The professor of that class worked with the disability center to figure out how they would represent algebraic symbols in braille. Apparently, this all worked out beautifully for the student. Her exams were presented to her in braille. She spoke her answers into a voice memo and submitted that to the professor for grading. The math department and the disability center were thrilled because this was the first time someone had asked for braille accommodations in a math course and they were pleased they were able to figure it out, especially since this student wanted to major in math. She registered for calculus the next semester, mostly because the braille team at the university center needed a little more time to figure out how to present geometry to her. But I expect they will get it figured out.

Sooo, braille is very expensive and takes a lot of space. I am not blind nor do I use braille, but I was wondering, a comic, if made in plastic like paper or some other paper, and can have an indent around the drawings, would the thought bubbles be enough space so that a comic that it's physical version can be read by both braille readers and sighted readers take equivalent space as just the one copy of a single collection of the same sighted only version?

Sounds like a far evaluation. Thanks for posting. 😎

Wow you sew!? I only casually come across your content and find it informative but I’m a history bounding nerd! Big points for sewing historical clothing lol

Thank you for educating other people on this. As a blind person that makes me really happy. Also thinking about how sightys do life is hard.

Boosting for the algorithm 🙌 Love your work, keep it up! 🌻🐝

And now, for another episode of "how I found out another big thing I have always done and assumed was normal for everyone is mainly because ADHD" Im 22. I stim a good bit. Most of the time, I can do so quietly and without anyone knowing. My main ones involve rubbing my toes together or biting the insides of my mouth. When im home, i fidget with things. My hands are always busy. And, I have recently discovered that running my fingernails across a diamond painting is the Best. It feels and sounds amazing. I love it. I even found a glass that mimicks the feeling.

My grandmother is blind and she taught me sewing and without a machine

I’m always amazed at the screen reader speed

you're very pretty! I love the dress :)

Use a 3D printer

As someone who is slightly blind (near sighted) I did these a lot before I got my glasses, especially rubbing my eyes. I thought that it would help me see better, when all it did was make my eyes red and sore😭

There’s a whole category of visual stims, like focusing on interesting patterns/colors and stuff like that, so it sorta makes sense that people who can’t visually stim (because everyone stims including neurotypicals) might compensate with other types of stims!! (But im not blind nor a psychologist so take this with a grain of salt lol)

I had no idea you sew. Your work is fantastic!!!

You will never be 100% confident that technology will always help you. Often times, it will be taken away more than it will fail you.

i wonder if ceilidh dancing would be easy to make accessible. its definitely more of a scottish (and maybe irish and other british) thing but so fun, my high school does a christmas ceilidh every year and it was always great. i think as long as one person has enough sight to lead so you don't bump into other people you'd be grand but even if you do a little its all part of the experience

So, maybe I'm the asshole here, it just sounds like stimming to me. It's weird to me that the same thing is called different things just because different groups do the same thing. Like walking is walking, right? Blind, sighted, autistic, neurotypical, it's still walking.

Thank you for your videos! I learn so much 😊

Text to speech is available for sighted people too, but no one is suggesting they shouldn't learn how to read

Laura Ingalls Wilder's sister Mary became blind in childhood and was still the best seamstress in the family afterwards!

I do a lot of baking/cooking and crafting. Currently doing diamond art (lots of breaks, days off for migraines) , bracelet making and card making both for sighted & non sighted (make tactile or visual card with print, tactile letters and/or braille). Xx

I love your videos! Your content is amazing, please keep sharing. I am so inspired by this quote, when you slowed down the speed of the VoiceOver: "I wanna make it accessible for everyone." Big supporting fan. And I hope I am not intrusive with this, but I kept on wondering the whole time: How the hell did you manage this perfect lip-line? I am ALWAYS struggling with it, and cannot even do when there is no good light. I really need to step up my game here! - so not only fan of your content, but also your looks!

Gasp! We should treat other people like...*checks notes* people?!?

...yea, don't learn to read, just use audiobooks. ...there's no way that would fly with sighted people. Wildly sad that it's allowed to fly with blind people.

Wow!!! I love that for you so much.

Oops. I'm an eye rubber as a blind person (more itchy eyes) and also rub my hands a lot. Other stuff i don't do. Less than 1% in left eye and 10% in right. I was born sighted but lost my sight when i was 2. I do fidget though with ties on jackets/jumpers, clicking my knuckles ( i have artheritis since i was a teen , hereditary). Leg shacking. Pen clicking etc. For me a lot of it's anxiety related. Lol. I did have GD (Global Delay aka behind mentally) but outgrew that as a late teen. Now in my late 20s and am very much mentally an adult : in a lot of ways i'm mentally older than my age lol. Xx

How long does braille usually take to read? As you learn it, I would imagine you get faster, but can you run your finger over the line and understand in a fashion similar to skim reading, or does it take a little more time regardless? I can’t read braille, but I love running my finger over the braille on signs because I love to feel the texture of the bumps lol

You look like you could pull off some serious Effie Trinket looks! This is a compliment btw

i bet blind people are so grateful for the advent of audiobooks for the same price you can get a traditional book, smartphone accessibility features and free text-to-speech interpretation apps 😭😭 having to read and write in braille seems so tedious tbh i feel bad for blind people back when it was the only option

I had no idea you downhill skiied. Thats awesome! I'd love to give it a try. My grandma is also a blind sewist, she mostly does it independently and just gets a grandkid to thread the machine (her machine doesn't have an autothreader).

Thank you! How do you measure both liquids using a measuring cup for liquids?

That's cool. It's always interesting to learn more about tools that help with accesability.

Bro is reading a script off screen 🤓

This seems a bit off. There are too many pieces of information missing. I would guess that most people who were born blind or lost their vision early on would know brail. If they don't, its because they probably weren't able to learn it meaning they either don't have access to education or have other mental developmental issues along their blindness. The other option is people who are legally blind that lost their vision late, probably do to accidents or old age, so of course many of them would also be unemployed...

Well, there's only one that I could even afford.

This is so informative ❤

You are brilliant! My 4 yr old has ONH and Ocularsubcutaneous albinism with of course nystagmus and light sensitivity. Please follow my journey with my daughter. We are learning about the support and community where we can slinky find it. You are an inspiration.

Did you paint your house? And if so can you give me hints. From a newly low vision. I really have a hard time explaining, only can see in blurred vision at arm length, and I feel like it is a tunnel that I am looking through. The peripheral vision is like tunnel vision. I am having a hard time with this. I feel that I walk around house is good, hardly any problems. But other things are a struggle. Get very nervous and anxious when leaving my house.

How do you read on the Braille display? Would you show us? It looks interesting. Are they expensive?

Your are also universally inspirational. My humble gratitude for your TH-cam presentations.
