Book OC

Right. I feel incredibly awkward doing this, but Tumblr - I need writing advice.

Basically, I’m writing a story, and one of my characters is blind in one eye. I recognise that life with partial blindness is different to fully sighted life. However, I’m fully sighted, and I don’t want to accidentally make mistakes or offend anybody. So... I have some questions. If anybody with knowledge about any of this can answer anything, or throw in extra info, that would be great!

First off, a little background about my character. He was born fully sighted, but got into a fight at 16, and got stabbed in his left eye. He survived the attack, but even with heavy surgery, he wound up blind in his left eye, whilst his right eye can see perfectly well. He’s now 19 years old, and has a job as a hacker/computer specialist/hacktivist. Now, for the questions!

1: Is there any way that being partially blind heavily affects day-to-day life? I know that depth perception would be heavily impaired or completely gone, because of biology, but I have a feeling that there’s more to it, and it’s different from full blindness/impaired eyesight in both eyes. So, I’m just checking on this.

2: Would any adjustments have to be made to living spaces to accommodate him? (He currently lives on the road/out of his car, if that affects anything. On the same note, could he actually drive? Because of the depth perception.)

3: Are there any other effects that partial blindness has on one’s life that I might be overlooking? Like, emotional effects, mental wellbeing, etc etc.

4: Would it be an effective idea for me to buy an eyepatch and cover my left eye with it for one or two weeks, or is that incredibly offensive and not a good idea? I might edit or follow up on this post with more questions in the future if more arise. Please tell me if I’ve been offensive here, or made mistakes with phrasing, tags, anything! I don’t want to accidentally be rude! Thanks in advance for any advice people might be able to give. :)

autistic fitzsimmons headcanons

jemma walks on her tiptoes when she’s excited or nervous 

fitz likes animals in part because it’s much easier to understand their behavior than other people 

jemma used to go nonverbal as a child whenever she was in an emotional situation. she learned bsl to use with her family whenever she did. she doesn’t go nonverbal much anymore, but still finds it easier to think in sign when she does 

fitz is a restrictive eater and it’s hard to get him to eat anything healthy or with a “grown up” taste. he’s branched out a little, but only if jemma makes it 

jemma finds it easy and comforting to memorize movie scripts. she has favorites that she watches over and over and recites the whole thing 

fitz has never understood gender very well and identifies as male because that’s the easiest option, not because he has much attachment to it 

jemma was hyperlexic as a child and could read children’s chapter books at age 4 

fitz finds it hard to process long verbal instructions and likes things written down 

jemma has a special interest in astronomy 

they’re both very sensitive to medications and have to take like half the recommended dose of anything 

jemma prides herself on her people skills, but it’s exhausting and still performative 

fitz finds pressure very calming and loves when people lay on top of him 

jemma used to stim more openly as a kid but the other children would make fun of her, so she developed covert stims like rubbing her thumbs over her fingers or pressing her neck. after she realizes she’s autistic she starts to stim more openly again and even tries to copy some of fitz’s to see how they feel 

fitz has to try REALLY HARD not to cover his ears at loud noises 

they both have comfort objects. fitz has a monkey stuffed animal his mom got him as a kid, and jemma has a knitted blanket her grandmother made her
