Challenging Misconceptions with Humor
Frequently, sighted individuals may feel uncertain about interacting with someone who is blind or visually impaired, hesitant to use certain phrases like 'see you later!' or cautious about mentioning the word 'blind' out of fear of causing offense. However, it's important to recognize that individuals who are blind or visually impaired are just as human as anyone else. These concerns often stem from societal stigmas surrounding blindness. It's essential to remember that humor can be a powerful tool in breaking down barriers and fostering genuine connections.
