Please look into this if you have a hidden disability or knows someone that has.
Whilst I’m not there yet, I do feel that maybe if I had a badge with a sunflower on and people knew about the scheme then they probably knew why when in supermarkets I’m holding a box or packet upto my face trying to read the details.
Or size labels and prices, right up to my face ☺.
Or my phone. I use Samsung huge font. So you can imagine the size of the text. And this only works in a few apps or phone functions, not them all.
Giving change in shops, I will thrust a note at them rather than count change unless there isn’t a queue.
I don’t usually take my readers out because I’m very protective of them as they are improving the sight I have at the moment although they don’t taken away those blank spots that have appeared.
So, if you see anyone with this logo, be it a badge or a lanyard as they will need time for whatever reason, to get around, need their personal space, or time to see what they are looking at.
So if you see me, picking items up and putting them back down, because it wasn’t what I thought it was, it’s all to do with being able to ‘see’ it, feel and touch.
Holding stuff close to my face. I\’m not strange. It’s not something funny to laugh at. There is a reason for this.
My mum used to tell me off for picking things up.
Didn’t realise at the time ☺
So however frustrated you are for that little moment, just remember how frustrating it is for them permanently.
