Like many individuals that with various conditions, I am sure that the blind community has many tricks to living life with their condition. So I am here to get whatever input I can from the blind community or others that may hold such knowledge. Let's go ahead and get the most cliche question out of the way. As a blind individual, how do you know that you are done wiping in the bathroom? I know it is a cliche question and some may be tired of hearing it or find it to be in poor taste, but I am asking out of honest curiosity. Many sighted people go solely by the wipe until the toilet paper comes back white (with nothing else on it). So why, as a blind individual, does one know that they are truly done? Also, while many things have braille on the, a specific location, or a unique shape, how do blind individuals distinguish between similar objects when shopping? Do you simply ask for a store employee to assist you, do you typically bring a sighted friend/relative with you, or use some other method? Also, how do you distinguish between similar items when they are ate home? Finally, if you have any other life tricks that you use, please post them.
