I’ve been using a white cane for a little over 4 years now, and (hope you like puns) it has been an eye-opening experience. First of all, I don’t use the cane 100% of the time. When it’s bright outside and I’m not on a busy street, I may feel comfortable walking without it, as long as I’m with someone who can yell out “Step!” or “Pole!” or “TREE!” at the very last moment (Matthew is well-versed in these split second warnings…but just between us, he DID let me walk into a “TREE!” last October.) My cane is handiest when entering a building, especially a busy grocery store, coffee shop, airport, or other unfamiliar and crowded space. It’s also essential at dusk and after sunset. From an outsider’s perspective, it may be confusing Most people see a cane and think “totally blind” - but, in fact, that’s less common. Sometimes I use the cane, other times I don’t; sometimes I make direct eye contact, other times I can’t (it usually depends on the amount of light in the room.) And I still feel weird and self-conscious every time I pull out my phone and start texting in public….it’s like I can hear people thinking “That blind guy sure is good at Instragramming!!” I’ve been confronted by strangers, pushed aside by others, and even approached by a police office who accused me of faking my disability (this was a particularly bad day!) ‍♂️ If I could speak on behalf of the visually impaired community, I would say this: Never assume anything. You have no idea how much vision that person may or may not have…and if they are using a cane, trust that they are using it when and how they need it to be used. Finally, don’t be afraid to ask them how much they can see. I LOVE IT when someone asks me this, because it’s my chance to explain Retinitis Pigmentosa. Maybe I’m abnormal - but I have not grown tired of educating people!

We been knew... ~Mae Credit: @ehlersdanlosgrl {ID: A post made up of five slides. Slide one, shows a tweet at the bottom that reads "I was declined a straw at a restaurant this morning. The waitress had one in her apron. As she poured the water I said "excuse me miss can I have a straw" she said "we cant just give them..." the tweet trails off, and there is a reply to it that says "disabled people said this would happen and now it's happening." The rest of the slides are a continuation of the story shown in the original tweet. Slide two: A tweet that says "I was declined a straw at a restaurant this morning. The waitress had one in her apron. As she poured the water I said "excuse me miss can I have a straw" she said "we cant just give them out and walks away." Slide three: Two tweets that say "My dad flagged her down and when she returned to the table, I asked again "miss sorry but I really do need a straw." Then she said "we only give them to the elderly." I explained that I am disabled, that I have a degenerative joint disease in my spine and that picking up a full glass to drink causes muscle spasms in my shoulder blades. She met that with "you seemed fine when you came in." Slide four: Two tweets that read "5 minutes later and still no straw. Finally I asked for a manager and the waitress looks pissed as hell but goes to get them. The manager heard me out, gave me a straw, then turned to the waitress and whispered "people like that arent worth it just give them the damn straw." I was so frustrated... I started crying. My dad got up and followed back to the front where he let her have it. He had to let me handle it up to that point because I asked him to." Final slide, two tweets that say "and while he was shouting, people were turning to look at me. He was literally just shouting "her spine is deteriorating she uses crutches most days you moron." And I was so embarassed. I got up and walked out of the restaurant and my mom followed me. We hadn't even ordered yet so we just left. I'm still really upset. Straw ban is bullshit. Its just an excuse for ableism. A waitress should not get to decide if I'm validly disabled or not."}

I was recently invited to speak at a conference where I talked about my life with a degenerative eye disease. The people in the audience were all employees of a company presently working on a treatment for the very disease that I have, X-Linked Retinitis Pigmentosa. I have slowly been going blind since boyhood, but wasn’t diagnosed until I was 16 years old. On that day, the doctor simply told me I was going blind and no treatment existed. However, he did say “there’s hope” and I have never let go of those words. In the years since my diagnosis, I have done my best to chase my dreams while adapting to vision loss. I have pursued a career as a visual artist and held tightly to the seed of hope planted all those years ago. Speaking at this conference was very special for me because I got to share my story with the people who have devoted their life’s work to finding a cure! How amazing is that?! I also had a lot of fun talking about the many hilarities that come with sight-loss (I truly believe humor is a crucial part of this journey!) If you want to watch my ENTIRE speech (all 45 minutes!) check out “My Story” in the highlights. And please remember: There is always hope!! #retinitispigmentosa #visuallyimpaired #legallyblind #ffb #agtc #whitecane
