Hearing people and Deaf people definitely have different cultures, for example it'd be okay and polite for a deaf person to ask what a hearing person might consider a personal question appon meeting them. I had to get used to that as a hearing person. I like it a lot now though, I find getting...

It becomes physical when because of the disorder one's anxiety makes it impossible for one to speak. Mental disorders are just as real and physically effecting as many others. She said she could only make one small squeak, she's obviously tried to speak and is unable to, thus it has come to be...

Selective mutism is still very real, people effcted by it desperately want to speak but because of trauma and/or anxiety they become physically unable to. We do not know her life story or what she has or has not been through. She may feel safer not speaking, she might not be able to afford a...

Dissociative Identity Disorder is "Multiple personalities" the disorder you're referring to. It's normally caused by extreme childhood trauma. Being mute can also be psychologically but still very real caused by extreme trauma. Most therapists have the goal of integrating all of the alters into...

That's what I want to eventually be an ASL interpreter "teachers aid type" to deaf children using asl. I knew a girl in highschool that had one for every class! :) I'm new here too and yes, so far everyone's been awesome! :D I do want to go to Gally so badly but I know they have very high...

When I spoke to an admissions administrator she said the student population was close to 50/50 hearing and non. I'm sure it's a lot harder and more selective to be accepted as a hearing person though.. oh well, I can hope :)

Ah, I didn't realize this about older cars, I'm only turning 22 on September 20th!

Wow.. I had no idea how much was able to be learned from CC television alone even. He seems to have a very good attitude despite his family's lack of understanding and support for his needs. I can't imagine how hurtful it must be to have someone talking behind your back literally infront of you...

Thanks!

So the sign languages are very different from country to country. Thanks I appreciate you taking the time to answer. Aren't all cars required to have outside mirrors? Mine has the side door lookback mirrors on both sides of the car's front seat. I thought all cars did. They seem the same as the...

I'm getting my associates in ASL interpretation this year and then on to my bachelors. I hope to assist deaf and/or HOH kids who can only afford mainstream schools or who's parents for whatever reason chose not to send them to a specialty deaf school. I'm not sure if I want to go that route with...

I like this about ASL communication. As I've said in another post somewhere, deaf people who use ASL are more upfront, direct, honest when getting to know them. More of my friends are deaf or HOH than hearing these days, I'm getting my associates in ASL interpretation this term in college and...

I apologize, I type fast and without thinking sometimes haha however I wasn't speaking in the present tense so I think conversate may be correct, not sure though Conversate - Definition and More from the Free Merriam-Webster Dictionary Oh well, my meaning was mostly gotten across I hope! :)

Yeah that was definitely a buttload of questions however these three did interest me as well. A)Most of my deaf friends are antimplants they see it as taking away from their culture etc what's the majority concensus her on cochlear implants? I'm also curious how similar ASL is to sign languages...

The video won't load here on my laptop on this site is there a link I could try and go to it to view?

Hi, Sabrina I'm hearing also. I really wish we had a deaf ASL using theatre group in my area, I'm a semester away from my associates in ASL interpretation and already have a certification in ASL. I love the language, my deaf friends and I also love theatre. I was always very involved in musical...

I'm hearing and getting my associates with my already recieved certification in ASL interpretation currently in state VA, that'll be done this year. I also really hope to get into Gallaudet, it's only three hours away in DC. I think it'd be cool and a great learning experience to go to a school...
