everybody,
I signed up here so I could learn more about deaf/hard of hearing people. Long story short, I am currently writing a story (writing is only a hobby of mine) and one of my character is deaf. (seriously what have I put myself into, since I have absolutely no clue!)
1. I don't know any people AT ALL who are either deaf or hard of hearing
2. I have never met or seen anybody in this country using sign language (huh?)... yeah... I think the only person I knew "hard of hearing" was my grandma :roll: but of course that's not really the same.
Thus I decided to find a nice place where I could learn more and I found this very interesting board I have already spent awhile reading as anonymous but I am sure that during my writing I will have rather regular (almost ridiculous) questions so if anybody is willing to help me out (for a longer period) that'd be great!
Anyway... here I am and can't wait to learn more!!!
