Yea we (the deaf and hoh) can read and write as good as a hearing person. Someone said that it depends on the upbringing, education, etc. I agree with that but I've noticed that some deaf people who grew up in a strong ASL environment ended up not having great communication skills. That's because ASL is a totally different structure than English and it's hard for them to translate from ASL to English. Not everyone is like this but some are.
