I’m referring specifically to situations when people are helping us or offering to help.. I recognize that when people ask questions about whether we can see or not, how much we can see, or if we can see colors, etc., it’s not with ill-intent, but I don’t think these are useful questions in the moment. Also, regardless of how we answer these questions, there always seems to be a difference between blindness as we experience it, and blindness as sided people think we experience it.
My position is that it’s more useful and straightforward to ask specific questions about what’s helpful in the moment. Asking questions about how much I can see doesn’t give information about the type of support I need.
What are your thoughts? Do they differ depending on the setting, such as if you’re out running errands versus if you’re at work or school?
