[nabs-l] "you are amazing"

[Wasif, Zunaira]

We should say, "OMG, you are to!  You can recognize me just by looking at my face!  That's so cool!  How do you do that?  And you can drive around really fast and not crash into anything.  It's so awesome!  I could never do that!"  Just kidding, LOL.  I actually just tell them that if they practiced enough they could do it with their eyes closed.

 Hi all,

  I am sure  that all of us  have had someone tell us  that we are amazing   at one time or another.
  Many times we are convinced  this  is because  the person telling us has a low expectation  of blind  people. 
  When we are convinced  of this, how do we communicate that we are not amazing, do this with a positive attitude, and finally do you or do you not find yourself being offended by the statement?
