Braille (self.Blind)
submitted by jay81uk
My little boy has been learning braille at school and I'm just amazed at what a skill it is. Running your fingers over dots and being able to read a book. It's mind-blowing and I think any of you that know braille well are amazing people.

It’s not honestly that amazing. We get a lot of training and we start young when our fingers are most sensitive. Instead of learning print we learn braille.
God is Good and I am greateful, I am not that amazing. Hahaha!
And that’s good your son is learning braille, keep going!

that's ... kinda nice and all, but you guys can decode flat squiggly lines from a distance and produce them with really cheap equipment. Reading in the dark comes second, sadly.
Keep encouraging that Braille, it's a tremendous life skill.

I know non blind people can do more, I just wanted to say how amazing braille was. It's a compliment.

Braille is pretty clever, too. Oh and don't worry I wasn't offended or anything :). Your son sounds like he's got a gret advocate in you
