The point isn’t that he got “cheated”, the point is that a label like “bestselling author” is meaningless if we go off of titles with no substance and technical truths, and his article points out that people get exploited in this way.

Hi! I’m curious- were you born legally blind? I’m 26 and found out last year I’m rapidly loosing my vision. I’m already legally blind in one eye and it has been a very challenging journey to cope with that. I’m right at the threshold to receive any assistance so I can’t enroll in any sort of program that teaches me how to live a low vision life. As of now nothing is severely impacted except I can’t drive anymore, but I’m nervous every day that it’ll be my last day able to read or write the ways I know how.

Any advice on how to start learning tips while I still have vision?

Thank you! I totally agree. I’m working my dream job and just enjoying life. I’ve started doing everything I can do to see everything I want to see, I’m just concerned about waking up one day with little ability to function.

Thanks! I work as a teacher now which I may be able to do with some accommodations, or I may use it as an excuse to finally get my masters. Either way, I appreciate it! I don’t know anyone personally with low vision so getting correct info is hard.
