Hello my name is Robyn and I am from Texas....I am 26 and have occular albinism, most doctors have told me that I will never drive but my low vision conselor has been encouraging me to try because with doctors consent he thinks I can get a restricted license....He told me this one year ago...I think now I am just so scared to try...My husband and I have just recently had our first child and now more than ever am I feeling isolated when home alone with her...what if she gets hurt???? and I can't take her anywhere for help....or when she gets older....how is she going to get to soccer practice....always having to rely on my husband and the horrible buss system here, doesnt seem enough...how did you get passed the psychological part of driving???? I have driven a handful of and can manage to see enough but I am so nervous.

Do you have anymore advice for me?????

I find your story very hopefull to me :)

THANK YOU Lee! That was wonderful to read...even though I was bawling my eyes out by the end. :) I'm quite the sap myself. I will definitely save your story and share your story with my friends and family. It's so encouraging to see how everything has developed over the years. NOAH has done so much for the albinism community, parents, and albinism awareness in general. It's only going to get better. :)

Thank you to NOAH and Thanks again Lee, for your story.
