Pamela, That extra fruit on the pit is the cooks treat! Sticky grin.

That said, if a sighted person is handy, I pass the mango cutting on because they can always do it neater and faster than I can. If I have to do it myself, that is fine. I loved your description and saved it in my Kitchen tips file.

Then I cut it from the north pole to the south pole just to the right of center. I then turn it 180 degrees and do the same thing for the other side. This cuts off the two cheeks leaving a finger width band of flesh around the skinny edge of the pit. I lie that on the counter and run the tip of the knife around the perimeter of the pit. I now have all the flesh off the pit, and the skin is attached to the flesh. For the band of flesh I lie that on the cutting board, skin side down. Hole the end of the skin with my left (non-dominant) hand, and cut away from me running the blade of the knife along on the inside of the skin, and under the flesh. For the 2 cheeks, I cut a grid of score marks through the flesh towards the skin. Maybe 4 cuts east to west, and 3 cuts north to south. I then either use a spoon and scoop the flesh off the skin, or turn the skin inside out so that the flesh pops up and the skin is concave. I can then easily cut off the cubes of flesh. I look forward to your son posting his recipes here!
