I'd probably think he was cute if Cole Sprouse, Sean Berdy, Zachary Levi, and half the guys at my college died. He's so-so on my good-lookingness meter. Not really my type.

To me, it sounds like you asked her, and once she got the question, she said no. THEN, you asked if she was deaf and she drew the conclusion that you wanted to help her because she was deaf. It sounds like the convo went like this: 1: Do you need help with this class? 2: ? 1: Do you need...

Not every area or type of service dog has certification guidelines. And certification guidelines between different trainers/organizations can vary widely. In addition, some dogs *can* be trained at home (though it is often better when done by or with the guidance of a professional) and...

My (ex) stepmom did things eerily reminiscent of this (and more). She said it wasn't abuse, and that CPS would laugh at me if I tried to contact them.:mad: Also, I've never fully believed in corporal punishment, but I dropped all belief in it when I did something wrong (which I admit I...

I get to try this tomorrow, since it appears that this sore throat of mine is getting worse. (At this point it's torture to swallow or even yawn... anybody know of any cold (NOT warm) drinks that are especially soothing for a sore throat?) Not to mention my college's ASL club bake sale is...

McKenzie Applegate As far as I can figure out, she's not deaf.

Some of the people who work with my mom thought she was stuck up when she wouldn't respond to them. Thankfully, they got over that when they realized she was HOH.

My ASL teacher's classes are full as well. Along with everybody under my major who HAS to take it (and were the only ones before today who could take it without asking a specific person), there are Speech-language pathology majors and theatre teaching majors, and even a guy studying to be a...

This is ASL FIVE?!?! From your description, it sounds like the students that are halfway through ASL 1 here know more than most of those students. If it were me, I would stand up in the middle of class and sign in as close to perfect ASL as I could muster (voice-off), how every student in...

It was created by Dr. R. Orin Cornett with the goal of improving reading ability/literacy. Cued speech gives the different sounds that look the same on the lips different handshapes/movements. Some sounds that have different mouth movements use the same handshape or movement (like d and p or...

I was very interested in learning it at one point (after I'd started learning ASL). In fact, I'm still a little interested in learning it. Once (long ago), I tried learning it off a cue chart. Not a pretty picture. I find ASL much, MUCH easier. :)

My HS chem/physics teacher told us that science was not the quest for truth, but the quest for understanding, and even established laws had the potential to be disproven. He was my favorite science teacher because, unlike the rest of the science teachers I had who just went through the motions...

No Child Left Behind

My thoughts: All subjects that don't EXPLICITLY REQUIRE the reading of English (stuff like math, science, social studies, etc.) should be presented in the child's native language (the one they're most fluent in/use most often), no matter what that language is. Tests that, in America...

Exactly what I was going to say. Stupid people are ignorant and have no interest in learning. Ignorant people don't know about something and may or may not be interested in learning about it. I like the way it feels between my fingers when I pop it. :D

God, she sounds like Autism Speaks. "We must destroy it because it's a burden, it breaks apart families and marriages, and it cuts the*afflicted* person off from experiencing true happiness. But if we try hard enough, we can get rid of it!" :roll:

Don't feed him! He'll nest within the walls of your home, eating it from the inside out, and still demand all the people and aminal food you own!:lol: You went to the future?!:eek3: I am not worthy! I am not worthy!:bowdown::laugh2: (Yeah... I'm in a fun mood right now...)

I've been told to face my palm forward when I sign C. So it wouldn't be "backwards" either way, because it doesn't really look like a C to the observer.

I'm an Aspie as well. You need to stop feeling bad towards yourself about it. Embrace it! (Seriously, if there's such a thing as culturally autistic, I'm it.) You're not socially awkward or abnormal; you're neurodiverse! :) Ignore the people who decide not to like you because you're...

One question: how do you speak fluently? Speech isn't a language; it's a skill. A kid should pick up their first language in the first 3-5 years (the super accelerated years:P) of life. It can be whatever language you want; it can even be two languages introduced at the same time (but not...
