Which does not quite fit people with BIID. They know their leg (or whatever other part of the body they want to get rid of) looks ok but they just don't want it. Once it is gone they are happy because they feel like their true selves at last. It's got more similarities to GID rather then what...

Nihil, Hello and welcome to alldeaf. I'm deafblind too. I also have mental health issues. I was born HOH. I became blind for psycosomatic reasons. Then most of my vision came back. About 2 years ago I also suffered severe light sensitivity problems. I've a lot of eye pain right now, so don't...

Terminally ill grandmother 'left to starve' by doctors - Telegraph

I totally agree with that. The person who held a pillow over my head, she did the same thing to this kid. She's abused all her kids in fact and other people's kids too. But as far as I know I'm the only adult she's attacked since I'm deafblind.

I'm deafblind too. I don't hate Helen Keller. I don't idolize her but I don't vilify her either. She was just a product of her time. She was influenced a lot by people who had audist ideas.

The problem is it's out of date now. In Helen Keller's era, it probably was true unless you were lucky enough to be among other deaf people. However now deafblindness doesn't have to mean that. I'm deafblind and I communicate all the time with people online.

Doesn't surprise me either. I've been there too.

My opinion is based on what disabled people themselves say in groups such as 'not dead yet',. Have you read their literature? Sometimes the other side just simply isn't worth bothering about. It's not being narrow minded, it's just self preservations, because if I went on reading all that...

We disagree on this matter. So there is no cause for name calling. That is plain childish.

Souggy: Sorry I didn't notice that bit. We draw entirely differant conclusions on this matter.

Kokonut: I think we got cross posted. I was responding to Souggy's post. Your device sounds interesting, but it's going to take a long long time before I can hope to afford one. I paid for my braille display. I paid for Zoom with a higher level of magnification then the previous package...

That sounds good. My dad has a scanner but his computer is no longer accessable to me because he uses Zoomtext at a lower magnification level then what I can see. He would need to upgrade, but at the same time I'm waiting because I don't know how much longer I will be able to see enough to use...

Souggy: You haven't answered my question:

I think you've got the wrong end of the stick here. A lot of posters are like that, but they don't all get attacked in the way Kokonut is. I think that it's more a question of wether you accept the status que or not. If you have differant views then you will get attacked however they are...

Not if he wanted to brainwash his readership. There must have been that going on, there always is which is why I avoid certain sources because I want to keep myself pure from that sort of indocrination. And besides it's depressing when any group of people are marked out for death, wether...
