  1. Thank you so much. It’s not that most people don’t want to look at you or are embarrassed, it’s that we don’t want to make you uncomfortable by not looking at you the way that you’d prefer & didn’t know whether looking at your whale eye (love that analogy) would embarrass you or not, so simply knowing that you prefer us to look at the eye looking at us is invaluable. It’s also so simple to understand how your vision jumps, the same as ours does if we close one eye then the other. But so interesting to know how you’ve adapted. Thank you for a very informative & well made, warmly human (with a touch of whale) video.
