It's interesting how many disabilities are spectrums, even the ones commonly thought of (wrongly) as being very "all-or-nothing". I think it's very helpful that you're willing to make these videos. Hopefully, this will also help people who don't have the exact same disabilities, but would still benefit from people understanding that basic idea.

I have a deaf blind kitty who I love dearly! Sheās fully deaf, and her vision is very blurry, and she is so intelligent and found ways to around it! Sheās also very aware of routines and vibrations to adapt! Loving her has taught me a lot about both deafness and blindness, and this video helped me even more! Thank you for sharing!

That's a really great explanation. So many people who don't currently have any lived experience of disability seem to think that there's some kind of big disability on/off switch - all wheelchair users must be completely unable to stand or walk, all blind people must have no light perception, all deaf people cannot perceive sound at any frequency, etc.
Then there's this weird gate-keeping of terms like deaf and blind that some people seem to feel the need to do. "You're not deaf, you're hard of hearing!" "He's not blind, he can still see some things. He's visually impaired!"
If someone tells you that they are deaf or blind, then you don't get to decide on their behalf that they're actually another thing. Suggesting that you know their condition better than them is just arsehole behaviour.

Iām deaf, blind too. I can see lights and weird patterns on my left eye. I am profoundly deaf and my left ear and my right eye is unusable. My right ear has a hearing aids. I also have a multitude of complex health conditions. finally someone who is similar to me is educating the people through YouTube. I tried to educate this best I can when Iām out but itās difficult because sometimes I donāt hear people calling me or talking to me because theyāre talking to a Deaf ear. My hearing aids is starting to fail me and I am a member of the DBCS and CNIB. Thank you for sharing.ā£ļøšØš¦š©āš¦Æš§

As a totally blind person, I confirm blindness is a spectrum. I don't have neither irises or retinas in my eyes. The connection between my eyes and the optic nerve is gone forever, so I see absolutely nothing. I don't see black; I don't see dark. I see nothing. My eyes are one color, instead of what is typical, which is around the pupil. So most people have a black eye pupil, and when someone has blue eyes they're actually talking about the iris. Since I don't have my retinas, there's nothing to interpret or go through the pupil, so my eyes are just ocean / aqua blue all around.

No two peoplesā experience with disability is going to be identical- even if their disabilities are the same. Everybody is going to have slightly different experiences, and no disability aid is going to be one size fits all. A lot of people who donāt know many disabled people donāt realize this, but it is true. And I think that the complexity and diversity of disability is beautiful honestly.

Thank you! ā¤ Not deaf or blind myself but "invisible" disabled and in wheelchair only anymore at bad days. Many people seem to watch me badly using invalid toilet and feel guilty about not being disabled enough for that. I've been rehabilitating last 8 years and gained some movements I was unable to do for a long time.

I have Peterās anomaly in my left eye. Itās basically a condition where thereās a cloud over my pupil, causing me to be blind. I can see light and some color, shadows and shapes, but that besides that itās completely dark. It wasnāt always like that though. When I was younger, I couldnāt even see light whatsoever. Itās interesting how the cloud itself can move and form differently as I grow.

It's so incredibly liberating to hear someone explain this in a coherent way and on a large platform. Though I'm able-bodied, I'm technically also deafblind. I have an astigmatism in my right eye so bad that I'm not legally allowed to drive after dark even with glasses on, and my left ear is completely deaf. No sound, no hearing aids can help.

THANK YOU!!! I'm not deafblind, but I'm physically disabled, and I'm tired of people viewing us as black and white states
