I wrote this last year and thought it was relevant today. I’m sorry if you can’t use the screen reader on the site. (mylowvisionjourney.com)

You sound so angry. If a little girl had offered me money, I would have laughed and laughed and kindly explained to her that I was just walking home frim the store. One time my kids and I got stranded 7 miles from home. We made a game of it. It IS hard not being able to drive but life is what you make of it. Happiness is a choice.

Sounds like you have become way too dependent on your husband and children. I hope that episode has at least made you consider buying a smart phone, preferably with GPS.

No, it isn't. Things that should be marked as headings are not. It is impossible to submit comments (screen readers cannot activate submit, as it is not a button). There are multiple other problems.

The post title and the reply form both have headings, and while I haven't tested the submit element NVDA reads "clickable" on Chrome, so I assume that if the form is properly filled the submit element will work.

On multiple posts either the entire post is a heading, or the title is not a heading. The link for home is unlabeled. There are images without labels or alt-text. The submit clickable does, in fact, not work; I took the time to test it. It would be really super if more people took the time to actually test things before making statements about how accessible they are.

I honestly think most of us do struggle with these types of things. I was trying to find my mailbox in a traylor park that my family and I were living in and got lost. People did help and I got home safely. Also, sidenote, you can read this on the phone app. It unfortunately jumps a tad bit, though.
