[stylist] Book about a deafblind guy

[helene ryles]

Let me know if you do. It will be good to meet up with likeminded
blind people. I'm sure there are lots of independant blind people in
UK. It's just that they don't have an organisation like NFB that is
particularly active.

Some of the RNIB campaigns include campaigning to get blind people
higher rate mobility which should be there just for blind with
aditional disablities, and people with mobility issues. Blind people
already get middle rate mobility.  To get them higher mobility would
involve playing down the ability of blind people since an independant
blind person really doesn't NEED higher rate mobility. An Independant
blind person needs a career, and if employers see blind people as
needing too much help that will put spokes in their way to meaningful
employment.
