Communities like this (rblind.com) and r/blind are focused on serving the blind and visually impaired community, including friends and family. They’re also valuable as an opportunity for people outside the community to learn about the blind experience.

That brings us to the question: sighted friends, what have you learned that you’d like to share?

    Tommy Edison talked about how he just can’t wrap his head around photographs. I had never thought about it but if you mainly know your surroundings by touch, a 2D image might be weird to imagine.

    He also hates spaghetti. He touched them when he was a kid and it felt super strange to him
