I live in Norway. My doctor sent an email to the specialists and my doctor was fine with me getting tested. It was the specialists that didn't want to do it. It's not the doctor that can decide if you're allowed getting tested. It's the specialists and leaders.

Some good ways to start learning basic ASL is checking out the website www.lifeprint.com and Bill Vicars on YouTube. You can also ask questions on the r-ASL group on Reddit. If there is any course nearby, you may be interested in checking them out. I don't live in America, so I don't know which...

I'm wondering what you mean with that and I would like you to elaborate more. If you're thinking about culture and languages, it's not wrong to think so. How some can find French or Italian languages and cultures beautiful, it's possible to find the signing language and culture beautiful...

UPDATE: I've now talked with my doctor and she sent a mail to different specialists in my country, but I got rejected. :( The reasoning for them not wanting to test me is that I'm officially diagnosed with ASD, so they didn't see any reason to check me for APD and thought I had enough rights to...

Can you please define many? COVID19 doesn't have higher mortality rate for healthy children and young people than what the flu have. A few children may be vulnerable if they've cancer or other severe conditions, but they're also very vulnerable to any kinds of infection and takes precautions...

Elderly, chronically ill and overweight are the most vulnerable to COVID19. The virus is more dangerous to them than the regular flu. For healthy people under 70 years old, the virus is usually not dangerous. Especially not for children and young adults. For the youngest COVID19 is similar to...

I would recommend you getting a CART (speech-to-text interpreting) and note takers. With CART, the interpreter would write down what the lecturer is saying in real time and you can see the text on a screen. It's very useful if you're not fluent in sign language yet. Depending on fluency, a...

I think you should send your child to a kindergarten for deaf children. Later, you can send him to a deaf school. Your main goal should be learning him the sign language used in the country you lives in. If it's the US, it would be ASL. In the UK, it would be BSL. Maybe there are courses for...

I'm wondering if you think the Deaf community and the signing community are similar to the LGBT+ one, and what you think about a letter equivalent similar to LGBT+. The reason I'm asking is because of both the LGBT+ community and Deaf community had to fought hard to be accepted in society. In...

I learned to remember the alphabet within a week, because of I tried to see the similarities between the Latin alphabet and the way the hands are formed to look similar to the letters. I've drawn on the fingers to show you the resemblance between the fingers and the letters. The only one I...

Thanks for advice! It's very appreciated. I also think I should get it tested again. It's really exhausting to take note and looking on my teacher at the same time. Right now I've a few Deaf people in my class, so I've looked on their interpreter. I've learned sign language for ca. 4 months now...

I think the guy explains it pretty well. :)

I'm not a picky eater. I likes most food types. I don't like eating bread and I don't exercise as much. Thanks for your advice! It's very much appreciated. I had some nightmares as a child, but I've only had trouble sleeping in periods. I struggled sleeping for a couple of weeks after seeing a...

Thanks for reply. My doctor is just a regular in-office doctor. I don't know what it's called in English. It's the type of doctor you goes to if you're curious about something and their job is finding out which conditions you may have - to be able to send you to a specialist who can examine you...

I've only taken a simple hearing test when I visited my doctor. I was never sent to a specialist. On the hearing test I scored the same as an average hearing person. I heard all the beeps, melodies and animal sounds I was supposed to hear. My doctor said it wasn't necessary to send me to a...

I've experienced something like this several times in restaurants, shops and so on. I can guess what people are saying based on visual cues and context. It doesn't mean I understood their spoken words. Often I pretends I can understand and come with vague answers like "hmmm", "yeah" and "we'll...

I'm diagnosed with ASD, but according to my hearing test my hearing is perfectly fine and I wasn't sent to a specialist to check if I've APD. The test never checked speech comprehension. It was only beeps, melodies and animal sounds. Pre-2020 I felt like I was like the majority of people. I...
