Hi I'm hearing, but I wonder what deaf or hard of hearing people think about interpreters. Sometimes I feel like students and interpreters maybe offer help more often when it's unnecessary. An example: a friend of mine born deaf, often prefers to use his own methods to communicate to those who don't know ASL. If he asks I will help, but if not I allow him to communicate with the person. I guess I'm also kind of curious what you think about hearing people going to deaf events. Maybe a silly question, but I have been pretty curious about all of this. This would also help me with understanding, what people may think if I attend a deaf event. I have currently only attended one deaf event that wasn't church related that I was invited to by a deaf man and didn't really fit in well (my ASL is kind of basic but, conversations tend to go well otherwise unless about science or something more advanced than stories and questions).
