I got into a fight with some people on a viral video of a baby's CI being activated. The people cussed me out and told me I have disabilities of comprehension, then said I should get an education before replying to them. All because I said that I think the implantee should be involved in the...

Question: Since when is the Deaf world not real? :P

I can't wait until this (or something like it) reaches the AMC theater here. My mom uses the assistive listening headphones at the one here (which are good enough for her to get the movie), but she says the sound is quite fuzzy/static-y no matter what she does, even if she goes and gets a...

I had no idea there was a "capital" sign, but I also never thought of using/had to use it. I thought I'd do something like what PFH said if I ever needed to indicate something was capital. Plan B if they don't understand my hand movement/position: sign "big" in the most showy, theatrical way...

Somewhat true. I will say that they do use controls, though. A specific example that comes to mind is the Christmas tree experiment, where they used different things to see which tree would stay the greenest/lose the least amount of needles, and one of the trees they had was their control, which...

Well... 1. This is the method I was taught all through my primary and secondary schooling. Does this mean all my teachers were wrong? (Not asking contemptuously, I genuinely want to know.) 2. Heck, I might be mistaken. It's not like I do this for a living.

What do you mean they don't go through a scientific process? They pretty closely follow the scientific method. 1. Form a question. (The myth.) 2. Gather information and resources. (They often talk about what they know/have researched about the subject on the show.) 3. Form a hypothesis...

My sign name is a "J" on the shoulder given to me by my HS ASL teacher. Does it say anything about me?:dizzy:

Please don't turn into a fight, please don't turn into a fight...:Ohno:

I don't think there are, but I might be wrong.

Being an Aspie defines who I am. Sure, it's not every little thing about me, but without it, I wouldn't be even close to the same person, therefore it defines who I am.

There are apostrophes, but they're mainly used when fingerspelling things that need an apostrophe. There's also an apostrophe s ('s). You don't use it when talking about what somebody owns (i.e. you don't use it for "Sarah's pen"). It's used for stuff like brand names (i.e. I'm going to Macy's...

Axe and a** My mom made that mistake at this haunted house/attraction when I was telling her it smelled like poop (we were downwind from the Portapotties) then a couple seconds later "now it smells like Axe." My mom did NOT get the word "Axe" of my lips.:giggle: Though that's not something...

I believe she means that even if he doesn't seem to be getting it, it doesn't mean you shouldn't provide it, because if you don't provide it, it's impossible for him to get it. Like if a kid is never given English receptively (through other people or text), they'll never use it expressively...

There was something about it in the book Deaf Like Me. The parents took turns reading each others' lips and found it easy, so they assumed it must come just as easily to their daughter.

Well, that's impossible because she just joined this month. Unless you mean this is a duplicate/sockpuppet account.

Parents who find out things like this about their child freak out at first. It's like how even though a parent of a child who was just diagnosed with diabetes may have been told that their kid needs to take shots, they might still try snake oil cures, clinging onto any hope that their kid can...

Ask your friend's mom for someone else you might be able to talk to in person and interview.

You can also just paste it. This forum automatically parses URLs (puts the code in for them). EDIT: This is one of my favorites right now, and it is SO not Englishicized/English-y/PSE. My song signing (when I think about doing it) tends to fall between PSE and this (closer to PSE). I don't...

This is the message I wanted to write to you, just much more eloquently than I could've done so. From http://www.rachelcoleman.com/2011/09/07/my-two-cents-cochlear-implants/ Other people have said the same thing, but I wanted to say it, also.:wave:
