If it is an Australian film, you should probably find someone who can help you with Australian Sign Language (Auslan). Have you located your local Deaf Community Center? You may find someone here, but that could be a long shot. If you choose another language, your film won't be credible...

Did this matter go any further? danimart62, did you ever speak with an attorney?

The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual is the primary publication used in the United States to define psychological conditions. The DSM defines Pedophilia as follows: Etiology A large percentage of individuals with this disorder were sexually abused as children, although the vast majority of...

My partner and I met when I was 32. He was 60 at the time. We are celebrating our 25th anniversary this week! Yay!. If you think that age defines you, then you will be stuck with that perspective. If you think that your soulmate might be any age... then you may find happiness.

Welcome to AllDeaf, Zeo!

I don't read anything from anyone that mentions blame. That seems to be an improper word choice. You seem to be the only person that wishes to provoke some kind of argument. It is a false debate if no one is willing to take a position that supports separate housing for LGBT athletes. But...

Welcome to AllDeaf! Great introduction, too. I look forward to getting to know you through your posts. Michael

Once upon a time, there was a similar debate about black soldiers. The question then was, "shouldn't we put all of the black soldiers in their own barracks so that they can relax and not have to feel stress and pressure from white soldiers?" Eventually, rational thinking prevailed, and black...

Fluent in English and French, conversational in Spanish and ASL. I can get around in German and Russian, but only enough to get through an airport.

My partner is a writer and has been published several times (both fiction and non-fiction). Here is something he has noticed over the past 15 years.... anything you submit for publication must be "print ready". This means publishers no long employ copy editors like they once did. Writers are...

I'm a little confused. You are hearing, but have been learning ASL for the past five years. You sign in church, but not for the purpose of communication with dDeaf (this really confuses me...like translating to russian when no one speaks russian). Are you taking ASL class with dDeaf...

Wow... Fingerspelling Megatronicatron takes a bit of concentration. Have you been given a sign name by your ASL instructor?

Welcome to AllDeaf, Alejandra! If you wish to understand the Deaf Community, you will have to work hard to learn ASL. I'm a white guy and I grew up in the suburbs of a northeastern city. I have never been poor, and I have never known discrimination. Imagine if I announced that I want to become...

Hi kayco, Welcome to AllDeaf. Like you, I learned to sign long, long ago. I recently set out to restore the ASL that I lost from years of neglect. I hope you will find as I did, that ASL is still in you. Much of what I learned as a child was still in there... I just had to blow the cobwebs off...

I still think it is worth speaking with an employment attorney. She should be made to prove that the client complained or expressed concerns. It also sounds like you weren't given the opportunity to address her/their concerns. I'm sorry you were let go. That really sucks. Don't let it stop you...

May I ask what type of work you do? The reason I ask is that your employer's concerns may have to do with a perceived liability exposure. If your hearing has nothing to do with your job, then you should be fine if you can set your clients/customers at ease. I also wonder what your employer...

Before jumping to conclusions, I would want to know what the exact problem is. Until you have someone...anyone...provide you with a proper diagnosis, no insurance company will pay for anything. Get to a doctor! See an audiologust the determine the precise nature of your hearing loss. Everything...

Really sorry to hear your sad news, Reba. I am sure everyone here is sending you, and especially your husband, all of our strength. Michael

Hello Diego, Welcome to AllDeaf. It sounds like you really need someone to talk with about what you feel. It must be very frightening for you. What is it you fear most? Perhaps our deaf members can help to reassure you. Being deaf does not mean you lose anything other than your ability to hear...
