I used braille exclusively until I learned to type but on the other hand I didn't have a cane until I was eighteen years old. I went to public school and in my district we couldn't use them in school but I have a friend that grew up in another part of the state that used a cane much lerlier.I got around independently around my schools but not really outside of them so when I got my first cane I had to build up my confidence and it freaked my mom out to even watch me cross a street so we need to go easy with each other.
