[BlindTlk] visually impaired people not caring about personal hygiene..

[Mark Tardif]

Hello, Madison,

I think sometimes we may have to be gently reminded about hygiene, but my 
sense is that most blind people I know do care about cleanliness and 
appearance.  I certainly care about such things, so for me it's important to 
shower often and wear clean clothes.  I am often out of the apartment doing 
social things, but even if I wasn't, I would just feel better if I made sure 
to take care of such things.

Hi all,
I was complaining to a sighted family friend about how my parents bugging me
about showering etc. and she said that from what she's heard it's common for
visually impaired people to not care about their appearance; is this true? I
don't want any greef/judgement only an answer to my question; I have very 
oily
hair but I've been known to go more then a week without showering simply 
because
I hardly ever go anywhere and so I really don't care what I look like/if I
smell. Look forward to your answers,
Madison
