Episode 12 Why Do We Act More Blind Than We Are?

Have you ever experienced the phenomenon of feeling like you need to act more blind than you really are? In this episode, I talk about experiencing this while traveling and using my cane. This was a video that I put out a few years ago and it sparked a lot of response from the community. Apparently, as with most things dealing with low vision, I'm not the only one that experiences this!
