So you will need to yell at them for them to hear you.

I had 6 weeks training to use my white cane. It tells me different surfaces. It does guide me! And tell peeps I'm a white cane brigade bitch
jsktrogdor
I was hoping she would say something like "Each stripe represents an enemy slain."
Voidhawk42
Matt Murdock, is that you?
sarahlyzzibeth
the all-white canes with a red section on the bottom are called Orientation and Mobility canes and signify that they are trained in O&M

Trivia, by definition, is not important.

Ah, Scotland.
ICantThinkOfAU
Fuck yeah, Science museum. Went there on school trip back when I was 11. Wanna go back now that I'm an adult. To play on the giant keyboard
Lostariel93
Went back a couple of months ago. They've got rid of the giant keyboard, it's honestly heartbreaking
ICantThinkOfAU
This makes me legitimately angry, I'll fuckin' smack the cunt that took that away, one of my favourite parts of the whole thing!

How would she know if they gave her the wrong one it could just b a really straight stick and she wouldn't know the difference
ThePaulRudd
I'm going to hell for laughing at this.
sarahlyzzibeth
i know you're kidding, but here's the real answer: the red tape is tactile. source: my hub is blind; i touch his stick all the time.

Hey, this is what I'm studying in grad school! The red tape is reflective so drivers are night can see the reflection and avoid the traveler
fauxglove
The concept of being deaf and blind terrifies me for reasons I find difficult to explain.
AntiDownVoteActivist
had a 35 db hearing loss when I was sick last. Woke up in the middle of the night panicking cause I couldn't hear anything and couldn't see.
DrYoloMcSwagmasterIIIEsq
I had bad pneumonia when I was 9yo that caused me to go functionally deaf in the middle of school. Terrifying, but luckily temporary
AntiDownVoteActivist
I think the sudden loss is enough to cause a panic attack. I immediately felt like I couldn't breathe after the fear set in.
catromance
Probably because they're super normal reasons.
raminagrobis
do deaf and blind people even walk in the street by themselves ? seems a bit dangerous
heatmaster28
Oh yeah. Every time I see one, I always wonder if they'll be okay. The other day, I saw a guy slowly, but surely getting around. 1
heatmaster28
We stopped at a corner, and the walk sign came on, he kinda just stood there while everyone else went. I mean, he's blind, obviously, but 2
heatmaster28
I got the feeling he was still new to being blind. I said "light's green" and he just said "thank you". Not sure if he knew and was being 3
heatmaster28
sarcastic, or legit, didn't know it was green. It's a curiosity that always turns into a gut-pit when I see a blind person on the streets. 4
LarvaLamp
So do they.
TheFIoridaMan
I have Ushers (RP & hearing loss) it is scary. Will be completely blind one of these days so hearing is all I'll have left receive the world
sarahlyzzibeth
Wow, that sounds really tough. How far advanced is your RP? My husband has RP (only) too. He wishes he had started some alt. Methods sooner
TheFIoridaMan
I have less than 5 degrees field of vision now. I was legally blind before I even realized it bc it was such a slow gradual loss.

"Registered blind" doesn't mean total darkness. Your vision might be this: http://www.afb.org/image.asp?ImageID=5629

Wait, but how does she know she's making an informational video if she's deaf and blind?

Ok I'll be the one to say it: I can't freaking read that fast

Isn't this part of the driving theory test?
BillyRex
Depends on your country I assume, since I did every possible question in my country.
EmmaMaySmith
Yes, in the UK you are expected to know when pedestrians may be blind and deafblind. Which is pretty sensible.
ICantThinkOfAU
Well there's over 1000 questions and you only get 50 of them. But yeah, I got it in almost every mock test, and in the real test
Morpheous
I remember when my friend passed his test, his advice to me was "blind people, white canes"
shorr
It's not universal, so not in all countries. I believe in Finland the red in mostly to help with snoe
shorr
...snow, maybe
LarvaLamp
Driving is just a theory?
littledidIknow
Given how some people drive it's apparently not a law
paulocentauro
He means the theory test you have to do in the UK before you do your actual test in a car. This is one of the potential questions
NotRainman1344
Can you tell if a baby will be deaf/blind/mute in the womb ?
sarahlyzzibeth
not usually. genetic testing could tell, but that's super expensive. and just because someone has the gene doesn't mean it's expressed.
toomanyostriches
It's also not always from birth. I'm legally hard of hearing, but it didnt start until I was about 10. I wear hearing aids hidden by my hair
NotRainman1344
Not hidden anymore, I'll tell everyone
toomanyostriches
I do anyways, not like they're not going to notice when I take tiny pieces of tech out my ears haha

Would you mind if I sent you a private msg? I'm really interested in more information :)
Fairdinkums
Definitely ok to put links like this here. Its not like you're trying to sell prints on this post

HOW THE FUCK DO U KNOW??

Perhaps I will!

And then you will get even more publicity for the rest of eternity because of reposts. The link is probably only in the comments too.

Hey, please check out No Barriers USA. They're all about getting the disabled more active through extreme physical acts. They'd love you.

I'll have to look into them, we're working with VA hospitals mostly, but always looking for other avenues!
IwasproductiveasshituntilIdiscoveredImgur
+1 for working with the VA my friend
MyopicCyclops
They also work with injured veterans. It's a big part of their mission. PM me if you need anything/want to know anything specific.
AnonamooseUser
Is anyone thinking how strange it is that a blind/deaf(ish) person is making an informative video, translated to a .gif with no sound?
thegriffin88
It qualifies as irony I believe.
shiv11fourty1
go deeper... make the gif an audio book, and we'll be on point.
ObiWanShalomi
Hahaha that's some excellent thinking right there xD
Rodeodoc
Aa friend plays on Canada's deaf Olympic volleyball team. I watched her in a lifestream tournament and wondered why no sound? Took a while
aleister94
Well most people and most deaf people aren't completely blind and deaf just enough to cause problems
MaggGyver
What? I can't hear you!
Ailesdumoulin
It's... It's for the sighted, hearing people who don't already know what the symbols mean. ^^;

The irony of that song is that it's about irony but actually doesn't have any examples of true irony. Irony.

Runningwyeld
I found it weird, that she knew karate chops? Like did someone guide her hands one time and told her that's karate???
bitemark
She was trained by an old blind man and secretly fights crime.
StonesOnTheHill
That's one aspect of being blind I hadn't thought about before. You made me think a thought that was new to me. Thank you. Much appreciated.
xxjabberwocky
Registered blind doesn't necessarily mean she can't see anything at all
Pinkelet
A lot of DeafBlind people have Ushers, and were born Deaf or lost their hearing early on, but start losing their vision in their teens.
ObiWanShalomi
*opens school of nude karate for the blind*
Rauchman
Emphasis on nude.
LandOctopus
You're assuming she was born blind/deaf.
Runningwyeld
I am.
BrianTheImpaler
Well, alright then.
IllegalDuckling
Are you actually stating that you were born blind/deaf with this "I am.".
Runningwyeld
What? No
Shewy92
If she knows how to speak English I doubt she was born deaf and blind
