Maybe I should have asked this before I joined in and started posting but I have a question, is it ok that I am here?
I am not deaf nor do I have anyone in my immediate family/friends that are going deaf. I am about to take an ASL class and I was doing some research online which is how I happened upon this site. I do not think or feel any different about those that have a different way to experience the world than those who experience it in the same manner that I do. I read here someone said that the hearing are more intelligent and I beg to differ with that opinion. The way we learn is thru reading and investigation that has nothing to with hearing. If anything sometimes hearing can taint that because we are now convoluted with opinions and voices of others.
I am not here to offend anyone but the only way to make a friend is to be one first.
