I hope Beth likes me, cause I sure like Beth. Like, love. Like, love
love. I like love you in the most intense, creepiest way you can love
someone you've never met. Love you long time.
How do you think you would feel if Tilda Swinton mistakengly called your
number thinking you were a customer service representative for her favorite
line of scarves and hats? Do you think she makes phone calls ever?
I wasn't sure if, because I like you should I thumb it up or because I like
you should I thumb it down? Also now I'm a little self conscious, am I one
of the ones you like? In all seriousness whether it's characters, vlogging,
serious topics or whatever I enjoy you, so I like your videos regardless of
subject matter.
i like you. those who i dislike know who they are. they don't know i exist, but ...
The Things You Should Not Say or Do to a Visually Impaired Person | Fashioneyesta
Greetings Everyone! Happy new year to you all! I apologies for being away from my channel for a while, the call of the dissertation is at its peak at the moment.
Hello Fashioneyesta (smiley face) Thank you so much for posting this! Our
daughter has Cerebral Visual Impairment, she is 15 and was only diagnosed
last year. I recently attended a CVI conference and it was an eye opener
for me (as a sighted person) despite observing my own daughter all these
years and knowing things from my perspective, I am still learning about my
'daughter' and HER perspective! For instance, I thought her friends used to
hide from her in the playground in school. She used to say she couldn't
FIND them and I assumed that they were hiding.
It wasn't until I saw a case study by Dr. Gordon Dutton, where a young man
had moved from one school, where he was relatively happy to another, where
he appeared to have no friends, when asked why, he said he couldn't FIND
his friends in the school yard! I hope you don't mind Fashioneyesta, but
I've shared your post on Facebook, the more informed we sighted people are,
the less likely we are to do stupid things! LIke grabbing or pushing
someone! In my ignorance, I've done it myself with my own daughter! You
will be pleased to hear I no longer do it! (smiley face) Huge thank you for
enlightening me!
+MaiaB123 Thank you for the lovely comment! i'm so pleased this video helped you :) Hehe I wouldn't worry about that, my mum does some of the things I mentioned (like walking off and grabbing my arm) sometimes too and she's had 21 years to get used to it :)
Hi im Ryan i live here in Las Vegas and my family would be the first to ask
#1 its like they all think they are comedians anyway it was nice of you to
put out a video i love to network take care will be in touch
your new friend
Ryan
I found the last one funny, even though it can be annoying at times. I
recently became severely visually impaired and whilst I'm talking to my
boyfriend he will get distracted by a shop window and leave me talking to
myself.
+DDonSon1 It is really amusing at times, but yep also annoying. My mum does it all the time and she'll randomly walk off and leave me in the middle of the shop floor. One of these days i'll make her do a my guide session with guide dogs so she can know what it feels like. Hey, I may even vlog it.
My mobility teacher had a training thing she told me about where she was
blindfolded and had to use a cane to get around while being observed, for
obvious reasons. Apparently there was a man who was really insistant on
helping her even though she tried to tell him she can see and that she's on
a training exercise
+jimmy alderson My guide dog trainers have had that too! Like members of the public will try to give them help even tough they try to say that they are just training the dogs and not using them :) What a funny world we live in.
+Kaitlyn 1122 I'm sorry to hear that, I used to get picked on for being visually impaired too. But, people like that are usually very ignorant and probably not very happy with their own lives x
It also stuns me sometimes how people get SO amazed by blind people being
able to use mainstream technology. I've known people who've become just
stunned to find out that yes, I DO have an iPhone and that all iPhones,
iPads, and Macs come with a screen reader that enables us to use pretty
much all the mainstream apps sighted people do. The same concept ca be
applied to Widows, though admittedly the Windows screen reader, Narrator,
sucks. We're far from incapable of using tech. In fact, technology has been
an amazing help to visually impaired people as mainstream apps and devices
have gotten easier to use. There's no way I could take notes in class if I
didn't have my iPad Pro and my Logitech K811 Bluetooth keyboard or some
other variation of technology like a Mac or Windows laptop with JAWS. The
better technology has gotten the better my experience at college
(university) has gotten.
Love the vid Emily!
I'm severely physically disabled and am s full-time wheelchair user. I
absolutely hate the "does 'she' take sugar" type questions to my PA and
people ignoring me completely!
Can I make a small suggestion please, I found it difficult to understand
everything you were saying, as the so-called 'background music' was rather
too loud. As someone who has a like hearing impairment, it is difficult to
hear people properly if there is too much background noise. (This is a
common pet hate for people with hearing impairments - too much background
noise and no subtitles!) If the volume of the 'background music' is
reduced, it will be much easier to follow what you're saying!
Keep doing these great vids!
best wishes,
Cat
