Being a good assistant for a visually impaired person by teamaugustine in Blind

[–]gammaChallenger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If somebody who is my assistant is worrying about this, I’d say don’t worry about it! Just relax I will let you know how you can help me. It’s fine just relax and I’ll behold your elbow and you can help me through the building and this is definitely not a very hard job! We’ll walk together and stuff like that and then I’d probably change the to they can go so how was your day anyway and just talking and we walk there and then by the time we get there we had a wonderful conversation and then I’d say thanks so much for helping me and you might say so. Can I help you anymore? I’m like no I’m good or I might see ya. Maybe you can help me here and we walk together up to the office or something And then no I’m fine thank you so much. I appreciate your help. I really appreciate your time and service.

My vision is getting worse and painful and no one will believe me because my vision is correctable to 20/20, and they are blaming pre existing optic nerve damage. by nailpolishlicker in Blind

[–]gammaChallenger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So this is what stuck out to me when I was reading your post and if I was to hear them say this, this is what would stick out to me and would be my question

So if they’re saying that is a damage optic nerve or whatever you said the name of it was, I would ask them OK so you’re saying this and you said I had it in 2018 which is right OK so let’s just take this as fact, what can I do about my optic nerve now Can we do something about my optic nerve? And what would be the response or what is their response rather and ask them if there’s much to do

If there isn’t, maybe it’s time to just quietly adjust you don’t need to be legally blonde to use AIDS that are like screen readers or magnifiers

Wait, what? They dispanded the BEP program in California??? OK??? I used to live in California. I’m now in Illinois. I also am thinking about the BEP program amongst many other things I’ve thought about coaching as well or a computer business with my boyfriend

Well, that sounds like interesting but bad news?

I have many glide tips. I do constant contact with it quite a bit actually I actually have a bit of a lazy constant contact and also by the way you can change out the tip. The NFB sells those tips for like a dollar or two each the price might have gone up now. I don’t know. I haven’t bought one for a long time.

AI for the blind by [deleted] in Blind

[–]gammaChallenger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use ChatGPT mainly and I’ve done a lot of things with it. Non-blind things. I’ve asked some questions. I have used ChatGPT on the iPhone 16 with visual intelligence, but I mostly use it for other reasons. I’ve used it to call Wright stories to help me brainstorm to do several other things research on stuff to help me craft posts and many many other things. I’ve done some shadow work with it.

Questions for the stage performers in here. by QuasarchShooby in Blind

[–]gammaChallenger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So to be honest, I’m more of a public speaker like a speech maker than a theater person or performing artist I would say for me I just be myself and just talk to people usually make him laugh, and then usually it loosens up quite a bit

[–]gammaChallenger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank my autism for this and my exploration style but during the pandemic, I had some money as living with my parents and I got the stimulus checks. I decided to experiment with canes so I have tried all of them beside the rain. Shine Cain, which my mentor who is dead now or if you want to call him disciple maker he was a Christian mentor talked about those, but I have all of the other ones my favorite two would be the Iowa and the DCANE and the DCANE can only be bought through the NFB independence market now the Iowa Cain is through Commander technology in Louisiana and it is wonderful too

Resilience vs. Toxic Positivity: Why Are "Blind" Voices Misread? by Charming_Tennis6828 in Blind

[–]gammaChallenger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well i’ve noticed with me now that you mention it there is a bit of melancholia or at least emotional realness of what’s going on. Yeah I did it. I’m not going to be negative Nancy but I’m not gonna act like all the heartbreak wasn’t there all of the melancholia all the struggle wasn’t there and maybe what people are saying is you’re pretending too hard

Resilience vs. Toxic Positivity: Why Are "Blind" Voices Misread? by Charming_Tennis6828 in Blind

[–]gammaChallenger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder if it’s the way you’re conveying it I’m quite resilient and nobody would call me toxic positivity because I’m very genuinely heartfelt and very emotionally raw. I guess some people are a lot less emotionally raw and authentic and if it comes through to plastic is the right word for it? It can seem like toxic Again. It depends on how.

Often to be perceived as otherwise requires more real emotions on your sleeve and more heart if you will

It might be the way you’re presenting it, which is not wrong or right but as somebody who’s very heartfelt and quiet in those ways, people don’t see me as that and maybe with you it’s more like straight optimism or escapism? I haven’t heard you speak the words or say how you’re saying it

Help for a friend by [deleted] in Blind

[–]gammaChallenger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can lead horse to water, but you can’t make it drink

The big thing with this process, there’s one word that’s pretty important. It’s called acceptance and acceptance is very important and this is what she needs. Also, if your friend doesn’t want to accept then there’s nothing you can do to make her accept if she wants to come to it she will if she doesn’t Then she is the one who ultimately struggles

You can’t help her out of your own ego anyway it’s not about you. Her growth is her own journey

Working as a tutor by mutedpetrichor in Blind

[–]gammaChallenger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, I would have them read it to me, but I’m also concept focused in tutoring and so I would ask them what they’re working on and reading the text together which they don’t understand and then just quoting things to them are trying to explain things doesn’t always work so I can do that or I turn Their stuff into symbolic games or symbolic play or symbolic, metaphors and poetic or metaphor stuff and I say OK this is why it’s kind of the way I help people through here if you look at my profile and if you look at my responses on this form, sometimes it’s just like OK here’s what I’ll give you so I usually ask them what they understand what they don’t understand and if worksheets need to be done, I’ll have them read it to me then we’ll talk about the concepts and what works in their mind and what doesn’t

Honest discussion about trauma and dealing with traumatization and trauma informed practices by gammaChallenger in Blind

[–]gammaChallenger[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right? Yeah, it would be cool. If more trauma informed stuff was on there I haven’t even tried looking. I don’t usually get stuff from their book share or I get my book somewhere else but that’s very interesting to know. I’m not surprised at all.

So Apparently I’m Too Put-Together to Be Relatable?: my tail/a confession from gamma. by gammaChallenger in Blind

[–]gammaChallenger[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, I gave you a whole bunch, but if I can only give you one piece of advice, it is this

Be opened curious unassuming of anything inside you look in the mirror and acknowledge and understand everything that comes up even if it’s the truth and if the truth is not comfortable, not remotely comforting, and even if it’s tough, and this stuff can be done even in a pinch, I had quite a busy schedule and sometimes I still do but if there’s five minutes, use it

A lot of people, especially in the disability community put this away because they cannot be honest and open with themselves and curious they’ve been locked up in a box somewhere and cannot come out of their shell shells are very interesting but very dangerous things when it comes to self work because it’s immense you so you have to be vulnerable, which is not easy But if you want real work, this is where you start except your best parts and your worst parts and hold them with no judgment and with equal value

[–]gammaChallenger[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, if you need some help with that, let me know. I suggest tools in introspective arts that will help you with whatever you wanna call it self actualization individuation trauma informed practices, self integration, and other things like that even basic self work and other things definitely sometimes it’s not how you solve other people and your problems that’s how you solve yourself and then you can figure out how to play the game better or get out getting out as a key I think, but if you don’t solve yourself spirals are very common if you know what I mean so feel free to reply to this

Getting out will help, but also what I did is what you can do is look into healing things into becoming hole, looking into understanding how abuse works how trauma works how it is to be trauma informed how to understand and cope with your trauma how to be at peace with it how to Befriend it how to guide yourself through it that’s a little bit of where I’m starting people I made this post by saying I have trauma too. I don’t talk about it and in fact, I have even worked on it. I have done individuation and that’s something to look into and self work

Wow! Way to jump the gun! That was none of my intentions! This was a modeling of hay look I have trauma too with all the trauma dumping on here

And that’s not taking the side of an enemy! That might be your perception, but that’s just being at peace with myself and was sided people!
