And that’s why it’s so important for us to teach braille

I hate audiobooks and podcasts, and the assumption that because I cannot seee I must learn by hearing.

I hate recorded audio, it's literally the worst way for me to learn IMO. When I first went blind it was pushed on me so hard, all I needed was a pen friend and a voice recorder.

Instead, I use my phone where I can interact with the text much more cleanly, and I don't feel like punching myself in the face. Imagine that.

I have some usable vision, and I’m an extremely visual learner.

I feel like I was primarily a visual learner when my eyesight was better. It has been a hard transition, but I think I had well-developed auditory learning skills even before they were my primary method for absorbing information. I do not know much Braille, but when I was trying to learn, it came surprisingly naturally to me and felt a lot more like reading with my eyes than audiobooks ever did. Even when I am reading literature with a screen reader, I want to have the text in front of me so that I can easily interact with it by going line by line or checking spelling on unfamiliar words. This is why I hope to get a Braille display and become proficient with Braille one day.

I didn't use to be before going blind, but since I struggle a lot with Braille I had to adapt to audio.

I'm an auditory reader, but not a learner. I like things to be shown to me physically and step by step. I totally get where you're coming from.

I am absolutely not an audio learner. I have to do the thing, or even better write it out myself by hand (not typing).
