Heya, everyone. My name is Taci. I'm 16 years, 6 months and 23 days old. I have severe deafness in both ears and have to wear hearing aids in both ears (I'm wearing one at the moment because of an ear infection in my right ear). I'm the only deaf person in my family. Well, I reckon my mum's got mild hearing loss because she's always mishearing stuff and yelling "WHAT?!" at us when she can't hear something (which is quite often). I'm the only autistic person in my family too.
I'm from Britain but I don't really have a British background (British and Chinese background). I can count to ten in Cantonese but that's it. I'm learning the basics of Japanese though and can speak a bit of French. I'm in the midst of my final GCSE exams and after that, I'm off to a sixth form that's part of a boarding school for the deaf where I'll complete my A-levels. I've never really spoken to other deaf people before and I can only remember snippets of British Sign Language which are just about enough to survive with.
I like to read and write novels and poetry in my spare time. I'm writing a novel written in the point of view of a deaf and autistic character in a zombie apocalypse. I love playing the drums and my cousin will teach me how to play the guitar during the summer holidays. I have an obsession with dinosaurs and infectious diseases. I love numbers and maths too. I hope to become a mathematician when I'm older.
