MY LIFE WITH COLOURBLINDNESS

Hi Keith, I'm an 8th grade Math teacher and i will be teaching my students about independent and dependent events (probability). I am going to have them answer questions regarding colorblindness using a data set.

Can I please show them your video blog to introduce them to their colorblindness lesson? I think it's great!

Thanks for your consideration.

i personally would find it pretty cool seeing the world in a different way from most people.

Seeing black and white is extremely rare. You see some color? Yes? No?

Do you find that without the distraction of colours that you're better at appreciating the form, function and layout of things? You could be an amazing B&W photographer and not even know it!

@spankwalla hey there's a pickup line "your straight? prove it" lol and i hate when i get the color test questions xD

[spankwalla]

I've just got to boring common red/green colourblindness although my blue/violets are a bit hit and miss as well. I get the test questions from people when i tell them as well. Strangely when I tell a bloke I'm gay as well they tend not to ask me to prove it ;-)

Have you heard of the book Island of the Colourblind? Have you considered a trip to pingelap? And I have even heard that Achromatopsia is linked to lower visual acuity, something like 20/100. Are you aware that even some of those who do see colour may still be partially colourblind, most commonly it's with distinguishing reds and greens.

@out2you2

I just read that "cerebral achromatopsia" involves no damage to the cones of the retina. So it's something different in origin.  I still wonder if the visual perception is quite similar.

[out2you2]

I'm doing some research for a project and at Wikipedia found "Cerebral achromatopsia" described as B&W (and grays). Is your case from a different cause and clinically different?  In a particular case, one person was really troubled by it, whereas you have such an inspiringly beautiful and humorous take on it. Proving that there is more to seeing (and living) than meets the eye. Thank you so much.
