My parents were deaf and it was always interesting to see people's reaction when they would communicate. My mother read lips and seldom used sign, whereas my father could not read lips and relied solely on sign. My mother's sister was also deaf (my aunt), and she read lips and never used sign. My mother could speak clearly and almost everyone just thought she was a foreigner speaking. My father and my aunt could not pronounce words correctly and it was obvious that they were deaf. One of many topics for the deaf community that I never really see anyone discuss, is the manner in which people sign. Growing up I would notice deaf people from New York would sign in a manner I would call hard and forceful, and deaf people from California always seemed to have a laid back, easy going manner of signing. A product of their environment I guess.

[@mia-saraking5479]

That is so cool! I never thought about how people would have regionally based 'signed accents' so to speak. It makes perfect sense in hindsight, like of course they would, but I also find it pretty cool that they seem to kind of match up to spoken accents as well

[@taylorgayhart9497]

Interesting, it’s like accents but for signing! That makes sense though because they’re learning from those around them.

[@fighterflight]

The equivalent of regional dialects, I guess. Makes sense. With any language it differs based on localities and what you’re exposed to.

[@LoveHannahsRizz]

The thing about the culture in different states is funny. Also is 3 of your close family members being deaf a genetic thing?

[@StephanieRZ]

Definitely, everyone shows expressions. I feel it’s important to consider, when it’s someone’s lifestyle, I believe certain people would be very active in their main outlet to communicate respectively. So New Yorkers in example, definitely in due to their environment, are more in demand of self-expressing themselves. It’s not easy (as mentioned in the video: there are times with cons), so it’s simply different styles and different personalities to expressions because of what matters to each individual signer, I find. ❤ It’s beautiful to recognize though! Great feedback from your behalf.

Saying someone doesn’t sound deaf is the same as saying “you don’t look sick”

[@ravenmatthews4726]

What???? How does that make sense? Those are two entirely different things

[@bloop1738]

Raven Matthews I assume they mean sick like a life threatening sickness that’s not visible to the eyes at first glance. Like when you have cancer but have hair.. people think saying “you don’t look sick” is a complement or they’ll say it implying you’re lying. It doesn’t really help as a compliment because at the end of the day you are sick and you are struggling so looking presentable to fit social standards is not a priority compared to not dying tomorrow. Having an inoperable tumor or diabetes or an autoimmune disease might not have you looking sick and that fact being brought up doesn’t feel great when you know you’re truly suffering day to day.

Same except I was deaf until age 3 and my Autism was assumed to be a result of my delayed language development, did extensive speech and behavioral therapy til 3rd grade when I was taken out of special ed and put into a regular class where I struggled to maintain a 2.5gpa, wasn't diagnosed till age 18 because I was too "well behaved" in class and wasn't "disruptive" enough, was told that I didn't study hard enough and was just lazy with social anxiety. It's hard having an invisible nuerogical disability especially when your sex has been conditioned by birth to behave and never act out nor make a scene unlike boys who can be boys and wreak havoc. So many girls with disabilities go undiagnosed into womanhood believing it's all their fault and constantly feeling ashamed and useless as they put on a face and try their very best to mimic normalcy.

[@ettinakitten5047]

I'm autistic and keep getting told "oh you don't seem autistic" by people who don't have experience with the full spectrum of autism and "yeah, I could tell" by people who do. And sometimes people assuming I must have had really helpful therapy, when in reality the only autism therapy I've ever had was a couple weeks with a program that drove me into such a severe combination meltdown/PTSD flashback that I had to call a suicide hotline to resist the urge to cause serious harm to myself. So, no, autism therapy has not been helpful to me, and I'm actually really glad I was diagnosed late.

Speaking in general is muscle memory....why do you think babies have to learn to do it? You spend quite a few years developing muscles and technique in your tongue and vocal chords to communicate. ALL speaking is muscle memory.... If you stopped speaking for one whole day, or even a year, would you forget how....?

[@PutinsMommyNeverHuggedHim]

firegodessreiko babies need to learn how to do it because their NEUROLOGICAL CIRCUITS in the brain need to make the connections. It’s not like their throats suddenly develop and their cheek chub turns into muscle from speaking. You *brain* sends impulses to your mouth to speak. That’s not muscle memory, it’s *memory* period. Just like you can forget a language, you can forget how to speak.

[@pamspeak9657]

I am hard of hearing and was bullied constantly through school because people didn’t believe me even though my class knew I had two operations on my ears and went for regular hospital appointments. Despite this every year I moved to a new form teacher the teacher would be completely unaware of my hearing issues because the school never told them and any new students would immediately assume I was faking. Like you I am not sure why I would do this. I didn’t get a hearing aid until I was 21 and so spent my entire life hard of hearing and can’t get used to the loudness of the world. I really do need to get an appointment for a hearing check because my hearing is definitely getting worse. Boo. On top of this I have fibromyalgia and ME which obviously I am faking because “you don’t look disabled” like we are all created from one disabled person mould. So at 35, I now flatly tell people they are being rude as I have zero fucks left for ignorance. I do love your videos because you explain deafness in such a lovely and understandable way. Despite this being filmed aaaages ago I assume people still say the same daft things.

[@ettinakitten5047]

I've got myopia (nearsightedness) and can relate to sensory aides being overwhelming, because in childhood I kept losing my glasses, my parents had trouble affording new glasses and my prescription kept changing, so I spent large chunks of my childhood with everything looking blurry, and it was always a shock when I'd get new glasses. I'd end up staring at my hands a lot because they looked "wrong" to me because they were smaller and less blurry than I was used to. I've been told as an adult that my nearsightedness is so severe I'm at risk for retinal detachment, and without my glasses I'd be considered visually impaired.

I was born deaf, my parents didn’t know I was deaf til I was diagnosed at the age of three because I struggled to communicate and had behavioural issues. And from then mackinton and BSL was my first language and my family learnt to use this aswell. I had speech problems so I had speech therapy from the age of six and managed to learn over 250 words by the time I was seven. I used to get so frustrated because I felt like I couldn’t talk to people, however my mum was my biggest inspiration she helped me reach to my full potential to be able to fit in with other people and done everything in her power to make sure people didn’t regard me as any less than them. So I worked hard on my speech, through lip reading, reading books and through vibrations. I am now 20 years old and I can speak perfectly fine and people are shocked when they find out that I am hard of hearing. I wouldn’t of reached this far if it wasn’t for my mum. I love you mum RIP xxx a lesson for everyone is that never underestimate anyone not even yourself, because if you truly know deep in your heart that you can do what you want to achieve, you will get it, especially when you have a great network of support Edit: bloody hell 1k likes, cheers mateys.
