Yah it hit a trigger for me too Lucy. I have autism on top of blindness and jaws and using iPhone voice over is still hard for me years later but I don’t stop learning. It is hard but we have to keep t trying with rehab training

Lucy, I like listening to your podcasts so much on Spotify! One of my best friends was born blind and everything you talk about is so relatable. Thanks for being an inspiration! I'm so glad I found your advice for traveling one day and then stumbled upon your podcast later on. I just now pre-ordered your book and I'm very excited!!

In my opinion : he is struggling with the new diagnosis (if it is new) but is already doing a lot himself and is trying to learn new skills. As you say maybe he does need some mobility help within the home, learning routes to local places to the shop or use online shopping apps. Also help for both emotionally. On the other hand : i do understand her frustrations but at the same time , she comes across a bit selfish (sorry). She seems to be blaming everything on the fact that he is blind (saying "i work, i do this and i do that, yet he does none of it" age doesn't matter in this context). and seems to be coming across that maybe she didn't want to be with someone who is disabled (if you know what i mean or someone who needs more help that she anticipated). I am registered blind and deaf with small amount of both. When i was younger i would wish i wasn't disabled but it is what makes us who we are lol. I however would hate if my partner(s) , if they said they would wish i wasn't disabled and use my disability to let off their frustration. Also, i am 90% independent. Only thing i don't do is use tranport like buses , trains or planes. (Hoping to conquer those either thisnyear or the next. Couple of operations etc this last two years with recovery time, so not been out much. I am 26 , nearly 27 and hoping to apply for uni next year. I think they need a good long chat, therapy and maybe attend groups with others who are blind or interabled couples. I see it from both sides but some of what this lady has written , it don't sit well with me. Hugs. Hope you are all well. Xx

Out of context quotes: “We’re british, darling. We’re british.” “Sorry, Hars and Megs. We can’t remember the year you got married.” “Not that big a deal in our life.” “We were turning into Pringles!!!” “We realized… that we were newbs. Of the highest order.” “Now, Ollie won’t let me chuck these bags away even though they are empty.” “And in the mean time, use it for storing bits of cane. We’ve got like a roller ball head here.” “Not off my chest. My chest is nice and warm and (inaudible noises follow).” “You’re not married to a blind man, babe.” “We just see each other as blobs in the world that is spinning round on a ball of rock.” “To be fair, they are right that you are a noocence, but not because you’re blind.” “For this character moment, I’m saying babe.” “Its cause you’re not actually a noocence. I”m just trying to make it funny. I’m trying to entertain our podcast listeners!” “No, you’re not allowed on holiday. You need to stay in your cave.” “Baby, baby, baby. No!” “Mullet Justin Beber is not in my mind.” “Because there are people that are copenhagers around me.” “No, but Ol, I really should go sight seeing.” “And if you think outside the box for one minuscule minute… but i know thats really hard when you don’t really have any brain cells.”

I think that person just want the "normal", what she imagines it should be, it feels pretty ableist when she says he's a child or something like that

How do you go about getting a mobility officer? ( in UK)

The wedding was on my birthday so that's what I did that year to celebrate my birthday.

To me its knowingly causing suffering to a potential child that is my issue and the issue youre facing here. If you think about disability in the physical sense thats the type of suffering I'm thinking about here as I have an illness that causes chronic pain.
