I would love to hear what blindness is like in Mexico. Mexico is one of those countries that you never really hear about, so I would be very curious to know if they have blind schools over there, what they're like, what life is like for a blind person over there.

Romy, at this point I've just accepted the fact that I'm Casey. All of my marbles aren't rolling in the same direction let's just put it that way lol.

@Casey tbh bro if you're anything like me it's all of the above lmfaooo

Romie, I can absolutely identify with this. I'm ADHD, and I don't know if it's that in combination with me being somewhat of a forgetful stoner but, say for example, I put my phone down, or my beer. Less than two minutes later, I'll have no idea where I put it and I'll spend so much time looking around, and won't even consider in the most obvious places. Lol maybe I'm slow, a stoner, ADHD, or all of the above hell I don't know.

And that kind of thing's in your genetics. I genuinely struggle to understand how I wasn't able to see certain things for what they actually were: my dad having weird phases where he'll listen to a single song for weeks on end, my mom getting unusually angry over having to wait in lines, most of us in the family being addicted to things, my grandpa having a rocking chair that everyone of us knew not to sit in for it would make him upset, some members of my family getting highly irritated with loud noises or too many lights, the list goes on

at least for the neurodivergent side of things, though, it does make sense when you think about it. For instance, I'm the ADHD posterchild. One of the things I do quite often is put a thing down and instantly forget where I put it. Now, if I were sighted, the same exact thing may happen, but at least my eyes would be more likely to find the object than my wandering hands. For those with autism, that can come with the inability to understand facial and other nonverbal queues. Imagine the literal inability to perceive them at all on top of that. Imagine not only being unable to see facial expressions but also having trouble understanding their significance?

Even when you look at this very app, to be honest, this fact is very apparent. There is a disproportionate amount of cognitive impairment, maladaptive social behavior, and clear signs of neurodivergence. That's a fancy and scientific way of saying, 90% of y'all are weird. like, not even joking. genuinely weird. And even among the population of us that considers ourselves not weird or socially awkward, there's still a disproportionate amount of ADHD and autism.

Congenital issues and chemical imbalances aside, I think it boils down to social isolation and infantilization from the sighted community.
