Your channel was recommended to me by my iPhone instructor. Although I'm visually impaired and not blind, I find this video helpful and encouraging. I take Uber and Lyft but struggled with using voiceover to order a ride. Thank you for sharing. I feel confident that I can do it too. I agree with you that these ride sharing services offer more independence. God bless and, again, thanks for sharing.

Great video, thank you! When our 19 year old son David uses Uber, he adds “Visually Impaired” to his first name so the driver knows right away that he is blind. David doesn’t have a guide dog, so relies on the cane as a visual. In DC area, MANY Uber drivers will not take guide dogs for whatever reason, our blind friends with guide dogs report. I’m glad your area is a bit more guide dog friendly! Who wouldn’t just love Antonia!

Do drivers ever get funny about having a dog in their car? One thing I've noticed from quite a lot of Joys videos is the amount of people who pet Antonia... isnt that a bit rude to touch the dog without asking, especially when the dog is working?
@platinum_amortentia5 жыл бұрын
Yes, technically when a service dog is working you cannot pet them - always ask though, some handlers will let you at their discretion. About having them in the car - it is within Joy's rights under the ADA to bring her service dog with her in cabs and ubers etc and drivers cannot deny her for it. I wonder if any uber drivers have a problem with this as well - but technically when you sign up as an uber driver you should understand that may be something you have to transport.

@platinum_amortentia4 жыл бұрын
Salti Dawg it’s a tricky double standard the law has not quite figured out yet. That’s why hypoallergenic dogs are becoming more popular in the service dog trade. Perhaps Uber should update to allow riders to check if they have life threatening allergies and all can be treated accordingly. What if someone eats peanuts in the back of an Uber and the next person has anaphylaxis? It’s not just dogs, but it is something that should be worked out.

I noticed how hard it seems for some of the sighted to bridge their world and perception to meet you at yours. The few times I've come across someone who was blind it came so natural to help them navigate. I think its just because I imagined myself as a painter and painting the world for them. I felt like I drew them from darkness and it also made me appreciate the world around me more. Joy for both. Maybe if you tell people to think of it that way with you, relying on people for guidance will become a little easier, helpful and even enjoyable. I've been watching all morning, led to your channel by a video of you going through security at the airport. You're a blessing to the world, beautiful inside and out.
