I’m a blind man, and often I feel lonely and desperate for friends. Many people ask me how I read messages, so I want to share that here. I use screen readers that convert all the messages I receive into speech, and I reply using the same technology.please don't ask have you seen my pictures as I can't see them
I also wear a cochlear implant in my left ear and a hearing aid in my right ear. I speak normally and can hear face-to-face.
Additionally, my husband is in a nursing home due to advanced Alzheimer's disease. I wanted to share this because I often get questions about my situation. Yes, I am blind, but please don’t let that make you hesitant to approach me. I am still a human being with needs and emotions. I'm skilled with my hands, so don’t hesitate to reach out. You might be surprised by how well I cope.
I define my disability; it does not define me. Please do not underestimate my abilities.
