Hi everybody. im Robyn. im 17 and HOH but i was brought up in the hearing world as my hearing was temporarily restored as a young child but gradually lost again which i now have hearing aids as a result.
I've always had a fascination for Deaf culture and found sign language so beautiful but i didn't know anybody who was Deaf or HOH or who was fluent. So anyway im trying to become more involved in the community where i live (im in the UK)
i was wondering if there's anything i should note what to do, what not to do, anything somebody might take offence to...im pretty hopeless when it comes to things like this, i also have autism so social rules etc are lost on me.
Anyway thanks for taking the time to read. i hope this question doesn't offend as it certainly isnt meant that way.
