    I'm Molly, a typical sushi, makeup, and fashion loving millennial girl who just so happens to be blind! I was diagnosed with Retinitis Pigmentosa at just 4 years old and began public speaking at age 5. I started just doing motivational speaking, but now I make videos and even model! Even though I can’t see, I know that there are bright spots in everything we face. Let’s find them together. 💕

And I have yet to see how nice they are and I live right next to Canada. ANOTHER thing they fucking come to Maine and always say “I should get a discount because I’m Canadian!” “I should get this free because I’m Canadian!” Lmao, one guy who was from Canada was racist asf towards me being Native American too and I rarely get racial slurs for being native.

(She's not there because she's beautiful. She's there because she is a highly skilled professional. How about, Isn't she an amazing designer (or whatever)". "Do you even know how to use a screwdriver?" (Whoa. Dude. Really?) To be clear, I don't mean George himself who as I say is a class act. Maybe I'll give his channel another visit.

I'm not blind, but I have chronic/invisible illness and mental illness, and all the time people (such as my dad) try to compare my daily struggles (that they have never experienced) to something they go through and say "I understand." no, you don't. it usually comes from a place of kindness, but it is honestly rude and demeaning. its meant to be a "its okay, I know you're struggling, that's valid." but really it just demeans and makes someone feel less valid. it's okay that they don't understand, its great that they don't. they just need to recognize and say its valid.

    I’m autistic. But I don’t “look autistic” or “act autistic”. So people don’t know unless I tell them. When people are told Im autistic before they meet me they treat me very differently. They act like I’m a small child, or like I’m stupid.
    Autism is a different way of thinking. In me it tends to show up in how I express stress. I have a disconnect between my emotions and my body. So I’m totally fine until my body reaches breaking point and I start shaking and having panic attacks.
    There’s other stuff too, but I won’t get into everything...
    Intelligence has nothing to do with autism. It has to do with your ability to communicate your thoughts and feelings. Its a spectrum, so some people have it at such an extreme that they can’t talk or live by themselves, or some are like me, and act just like anyone else. I actually have an IQ of 127. I’m not stupid. People who know me before knowing I’m autistic know that.
    I once heard some people having a conversation at school. It went something like this:
    Person 1 - Autism and Down syndrome are the same thing.
    Person 2 - I don’t think that’s how it works...
    Person 1 - yeah, they’re just different words for the same thing. They’re both mentally delayed.
    Me (sitting right next to them) - Down syndrome has to do with an irregular chromosome. Autism is very different.
    Person 2 - yeah I thought it was something like that...
    Person 1 - even if they’re caused by different things, they’re both pretty much the same. Their both retarded or whatever.
    Me - I’m autistic.
    *long silence*
    Me - I’m not kidding...
    Person 1 and 2 - *turn around and start a new conversation. *

      Love that attitude. I also met some people with autism, where it actually felt like they are smarter than me. So autism probably just doesn't define that. In the end every individual defines that for themselve :)
      Btw. the other day I also heard how IQ is nothing static and you can train it as any other skill.

    • @MirandaMilner
      @MirandaMilner 4 ปีที่แล้ว +26

      Anne J. Interesting... I think the reason people assume that autism = lower intelligence is because some more extreme cases can’t/don’t speak. It’s not because they have nothing to say. It can be because they physically can’t speak, or because they’re afraid to say the wrong thing because of communication issues.

      Natalie deWitt It’s so important. I’ve been type 1 diabetic for nine years and I wish someone would’ve said that to me at the beginning. I got told things like “it could be worse,” “at least it’s not cancer,” etc. I was eleven. I was going through hell. I wish someone would’ve just been like: “yeah, this is hell. it sucks.” Because if you act like everything is fine when the person doesn’t feel fine, they just think they’re weak.

    • @HopeUnquenchable
      @HopeUnquenchable 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Eyeconic, thank you for explaining that. I’m the type of person to take any hardship that comes at me and put it into perspective by thinking of how it could be (IMO) worse. I get strength, either from gratitude for all I still do have, or from thinking, “Let’s see if I can survive this; let’s see how strong I really am!” So it’s good to have your perspective and realize that while that might work for me, it doesn’t necessarily benefit someone else who needs validation for how hard their own situation is.
      What, in your opinion, would be the best way for someone to react to hearing of your struggles, if they wanted to not only validate your hardships, but also empower you to fight through them?

    • @EyeconicLaura
      @EyeconicLaura 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      HopeUnquenchable it honestly depends on the circumstances as well as the relationship between the two people.
      If I’m telling someone I just met that I have type 1, the best thing to do is just say “okay,” and if you are curious about the disease, ask questions. Give me a space to be open and honest about how it affects my daily life, in a way that is natural in conversation.
      If I am venting to a trusted friend about the hardships, the best thing to do is listen. Listen and offer help with the small things, like carb counts at meal times for example.
      In any situation, just offer your love. Let us know we’re heard, whether that means giving a hug, listening in silence, or reacting with 50 heart emojis.
      And just to be extra thorough, here are some of the most common things we get said to us that you Should Not Say:
      - “How do you give yourself shots? I would just die.” (lowkey implies that dying instead of managing our disease is a reasonable option)
      - “It could be worse” (see above comment)
      - “You are so strong/You are a warrior” (this gives us a mentality that if we’re not fighting, we’re not living, and if we buckle under the pressure, we lose)
      - “Did you eat too much sugar?” (Please use google for two seconds)
      - “You don’t look diabetic” (type 1 has literally nothing to do with lifestyle in any way shape or form so there is no “looking diabetic”)
      - “is that the bad kind?” (there is no bad kind)
      Finally: thank you for asking that question. It shows you genuinely care. The world needs more of that. 💙

    I love how tas said "It's not just blind people or people who are disabled that are watching your videos (...) and they start to understand how I see and how I felt because of you".
    I'm not blind, but I have a lot of other disabilities. I understand what it's like to be disabled, but I don't and won't understand what it is like to be blind unless I become blind. For people in the disabled community who are not blind, we get to see another type of disability and how it creates other types of challenge in life. For abled people, they get to be educated about disabilities and taught that it isn't something weird or abnormal.

      You're so right! I am an abled person but Molly has taught me so much about how blind people perceive the world and has made me be more thoughtful about people with disabilities in general. When I tell people I watch her and she's a blind TH-camr they are usually shocked because they don't understand. Molly is really changing the game for abled people as well as people with various disabilities. I'm so grateful I found her channel ❤️

      She calls herself a blind youtuber so she doesn't mind that label. Many disabled people don't like person first labelling as they feel it diminishes their disability and its effect on their life. Its always best to ask/go with what the person wants rather than assume and use person-first.

      Devin Cassedy Exactly. At first, I thought you said images instead of emojis. As for images, most things cannot describe them or describe very little, like saying something about the picture being dark and blurry or something, or it may read out a bunch of numbers and letters and say JPG and/or img for image. On Facebook, it says something like, "Image may contain one person, smiling and outdoor." Descriptions like that are better than nothing, but still very general when you compare it with the fact that a sighted person would also see who the person is and what they're doing. Sorry for just now replying.

      It happened to me in 3rd grade due to infection (luckily I regained 95% of my sight back.) I told my mom I couldn't see and we went to the Walmart eye Dr. They realized I was actually blind and sent me to a specialist who told us to go home and pray. LOL My mom was like no thanks and found a children's specialist that was able to treat me over the next few months. Weirdly I handled it very calmly but I could still see a sliver in my peripheral of one eye so that made it so much easier than total loss.
