No idea which section this should be in but here goes...

Very detailed and interesting past!!

I went to a deaf primary(elementary) school from 3-11 then to a mainstream school with hearing impaired unit with 'terps and extra help
 
my milestone:

1. .......................... sorry - CRS
 
I was 18 months old before I started to walk and nearly 5 before I started to talk. I was born deaf due to Rubella (and learning disability) and misdiagnosed as mentally retarded, etc. My mother disagreed with the doctors' opinions in LI, NY and NYC until she took me to Boston and they told her that I am deaf after they examined me. She was relieved to hear that news.

Yes, my mother was because she was a registered nurse at the time. (She's retired after 47 years. She loved her job so much.) So, she knew. ;)
