    Deaf representation in fantasy?

    Hello! I am a hearing person from Jamaica. I've been considering making a YouTube video about Deaf representation in fantasy shows/books. I'd like to interview Deaf people about their thoughts on how Deaf people have been represented, especially in these shows: 1. Switched at Birth 2. The...

    Is the ily sign used in sign languages other than asl?

    Hi, everyone! I've been wondering. Is the ILY sign (:ily:) used in countries where ASL didn't reach? It is used here in Jamaica, and the Deaf here use Jamaican Sign Language, a sign language similar to/descended from ASL. I don't have much exposure to sign languages other than JSL and ASL, so I...

    Can Loud Noises Still Make Your Ears Hurt If You Can't Hear Them?

    Thank you! :ty: I'd guess that it might not hurt if someone has conductive deafness, right? If the middle ear bones don't work, or if the sound passage itself is blocked, or something? ~Ken

    Can Loud Noises Still Make Your Ears Hurt If You Can't Hear Them?

    Hello, everyone! I am hearing, and I have been wondering: Hearing people's ears hurt when a noise is very loud. Does that also happen to the (profoundly) deaf? I would guess that it depends... But can a deaf/Deaf person please let me know? Thanks! ~Ken

    I really love you; true ASL?

    I found this image during a Google search: Does that sign really mean "I really love you" in ASL? That is what the picture's caption says. :ty:

    Question about sign names

    Well, be prepared for a name that you probably won't like. Depending on the Deaf person or people, they may ignore whether you like it, perhaps just for the sake of teasing you, and use it anyway. Most people don't have that problem, though, I find. But tell them if you don't like it, don't be...

    Is this really an ASL sign?

    Thanks, Smithr, but I know what 'unintelligent' means. :) I just wasn't sure what caz12 was talking about. caz12, no, I was not using BSL and was not signing 'unintelligent'. I was using JSL.

    Is this really an ASL sign?

    Thanks, Paul. I really am confused as to where he could have got that sign from then. Giving him the benefit of the doubt, my only 2 options are to believe that it's an old sign, or that it's a dialectal variation....

    Is this really an ASL sign?

    YysiAGtltjo I hope it's clear in ASL what I'm saying there. JSL (Jamaican Sign Language) and ASL are pretty similar. I met a man yesterday who signed something I didn't know and said it was ASL, so I'm asking if it really is an ASL sign. :ty:

    What is the sign for this?

    Hi everyone. How would you sign "letter of recommendation" in ASL? I imagine it might be too much to ask for a short video with the signs, but any help would be appreciated. :ty:

    My Little Pony...? Signing...?

    I am not exactly a fan of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, but I watch it sometimes and it fanart pops up on deviantART quite frequently. I often think about what how a movie, TV show, etc. would portray a Deaf character and how it would affect the stories, and so just a few minutes ago, I...

    Want to Skype?

    Hi! Does anyone want to add me on Skype? I'm planning on taking the ASLPI and I'd like to get some practice signing with American Deaf or other ASL users. My Skype username is the same as my AllDeaf username, so please add me. I'd be grateful for any ASL practice, and even some friends! :)

    Do deaf people "hear" sounds in their heads?

    I am not deaf, so I cannot speak from experience. But I think I can try to provide an answer nonetheless. If you have never experienced sound or sight or smell or pain (or any such sensation) your whole life, your brain would have zero idea of what those sensations are. It would be like a snake...
