Somebody asked me how a blind person can make a screenshot, and even complimented me on mine here.

So here's a quick PSA:

"Blind" doesn't always mean "can't see anything at all." Many blind people can at least see the difference between light and dark. Some have okay visual acuity but very little visual field. Or vice versa. All of that can be described as blind.

Many conditions affect sight and everyone is different. You can't assume much about a person if all you know is that they're blind.

Also, it's not good to compliment a disabled person for doing something you who do not have that disability think they shouldn't be able to do!

I've been called "so brave" for just walking down the street (by myself? maybe?).

It's infantalizing.

It was someone else walking down the street who said this! Did she think she was brave?? Or was it just me, alone with my white cane, who was so brave she had to grasp my arm to tell me so (also don't touch blind people, but that's a whole other PSA).
