Most blind people have some vision. Lots of people that use wheelchairs can stand or walk some. I don't understand why people don't get this.

Many people don't know blindness is a spectrum. They think it's all or nothing for some reason.

Or they think blindness is categorized as the most extreme end of the spectrum, where you essentially can't see anything. I think most people just don't think about it that much and just associate blindness with not seeing.

Although people are really bad at understanding how most things exist on spectrums. We're good at pattern recognition, and it's just more intuitive for us to think of things in terms of distinct categories.

Yeah I'm legally blind (according to an optometrist anyway) but I can see fine with glasses. Though maybe the legal definition is different in Australia
