<font color="purple"> Like alot of people have said before:
He. Is. So. CUTE.
If you don't mind me asking- does he have any specific disorder or syndrome? Or is it just a collection of multple syndromes/disorders?
Sorry if it seems like a weird question, I just get really curious when I see other people with disabilities (most of the time I just feel too shy to ask the person or their caregivers because it seems like it could be taken as a really rude question)
But yes.
My life seems uninspired lately.
Nobody has really made me proud because my life is going at a rather dull hum right now- without much change to it...you know? I'm kinda proud of myself though because I memorized my home phone number during the summer (I have a really hard time memorizing names and number patterns like lock combinations or phone numbers)
I am also proud of my little cousin- Corey.
No one is quite sure what is wrong with his vision.
Many experts and universities are still trying to figue it out.
They describe it as looking through one of those sequence tubes, or a kaleidoscope. You know, how everything looks shattered or smashed together? At some points he can see fine, but then the next minute he'll bump into something because he didn't see it. I sometimes see him in school (because the way out school is set up the elementary school and highschool share the same building) walking around with aid and his stick.
My dad told me about this one time when he was in sunday school:
Corey: *bumps into something*
Kid: What are you? Blind?
Corey: Yup!
Kid: If you're blind then where's your stick?!
Corey: Oh well, I left it hat home tonight but I can bring it in if you wanna see it
I swear he's such a good kid (okay, so he is REALLY hyper, but that's normal for a boy his age) and I can't imagine having to go though what he has to in his every day life. He always seems positive about it too, I guess because it's normal to him his condition really doesn't frustrate or depress him at all, even if people can be rude to him or stare and wonder why at the age of six he has to wear special glasses and walk around with a cane and use a special lamp at his desk to do work at school.</font>
