[nabs-l] pannel

[Nicole B. Torcolini]

I forget the exact numbers, but I read in a book once that the word blind 
refers to just a tiny bit of vision loss to totally blind. Blind is not like 
the word deaf; deaf usually means no hearing or not enough to comprehend 
speech, but blind refers to the entire range.
Maybe tell them how they can best assist you. One of my pet peeves (and I 
that people just don't know better) is when someone goes to lead me, and 
they grab me instead of letting me hold onto their arm.

there are varying degrees of blindness. I am legally blind and people alot
of the time don't think I am blind because I can see color.
