So these are those ten myths about our behaviors and attitudes. Some of them are stupid, but yet some of them are sort of interesting. You can click on each one of them on the website to get a full article on it, but I'm not making a blog that long, so i am just going to do the one that i am the most interested in.

Blind People's Other Senses Not More Acute

I always thought that when someone was blind, they would be able to hear better to make up for not being able to see. But i guess that is all just a big myth! I wouldn't have thought that was the case until i read the article about it.

They say in this article that they have all the same amount of senses that we have, and that just because they are blind does not mean that they can instantly hear better or taste things easier. That is a big lie. The only thing they can do is work to learn ways to get over not being able to see. They teach themselves techniques to make not being able to see easier for them.
