I like running on a treadmill, lifting weights, cooking, gaming to the extent that I can play games, playing pen and paper games like D&D with friends, taking care of my cat and plants, writing, and programming. Plus going out for dinner and drinks with friends.

I'm fully blind and have only been so for 5 years. I cook, bake, binge Netflix and go to movies, plays, concerts, and shows, participate in meetup groups, program my own games and work on web coding, participate in accessibility research studies, play the piano, take care of my cat, listen to audiobooks, and when hockey season starts, my partner and I attend every game since we are season ticket holders. I'm active in a few kik groups and do live storytelling events, play board games with friends that I've made accessible, go on dates, speak on panels about accessibility, test apps, and explore new places around my City as I can. And get lost in reddit, of course.

I love listening to music, but that is non-visual in any case, but it does give my eyes a chance to rest. Other than that I fiddle with electronics and electronics repair. I have an HDMI microscope which allows me to see the tiny electronic components.

​

Would love to learn the piano though. And maybe learn to play lawn bowling :)

Podcasts, music, writing, chess, swimming. I also like audiobooks. Do you recommend any good books?

if you love audiobooks, maybe look out for podcasts out there, or maybe just look on youtube for something sound based. i personally like a lot of more unsolved mysteries/horror/arg content, so i know some sound based youtubers i follow for that is that chapter, nexpo, inside a mind, scare theater and a couple others. i also like news and politics, so i listen to the daily by the new york times, philip defranco, etc. while listening, i like t do origami, just something to keep my hands busy, you know? i'm also personally a writer, mostly for fun, and like to write and listen to music when i have time. oh, and i also have light sensativity. don't know how intense it is for you, but for me, i usually am better off doing shopping for groceries and stuff at night, usually for things that are in walking distance but if i have to, i'll take the bus/uber etc. usually i like walking and listening to those aforementioned podcasts/youtubers. hope this helps!

As for light-sensitivity, I used to walk around blindfolded if it got too bad. Looks weird, but otherwise school would've been a pain in the a***rm ;-)

As for hobbies. I do German Ju-Jutsu (a m"artial art), climb, and used to do ballroom dance and therapeutic horse-riding.

This doesn't answer your question, but please remember that it is illegal to be fired because of a loss of vision. You should either try to regain your previous job or find a new one.
