I'm impressed at how much it gets right. Certainly not everything but quite a bit. Which is better than I expected.

So I asked a blind friend yrs ago about how he felt about "blind" as a colloquialism. He said he wasn't really that bothered, what bothered him more was the way people instinctively act around blind people, often looking past them, and putting the onus on the blind to act "mature" dealing w/ others.
