Speech therapy 💕✨ #deaf #shortsirl

I'm blind.

"Well, you're not invisible, so you can't be completely blind."

“Aren’t we all a little bit?” My dad when I explain my anxiety and depression.

People need to listen, not with their ear, but with their heart. Too bad most of the time they don't.

My mom went through years of intense speech therapy because of her deafness and her parents embarrassment by it. She talks like someone who is hearing and it only makes it harder for the world to be kind to her and realize that no you can’t look away from her when you’re talking to her she needs to see your face to read your lips, and yes it still takes a lot of energy to lip read all day every day, and doctors are the absolute worse when it comes to her deafness because they for some reason refuse to believe that she’s as deaf as she is. Sign language whether a deaf person is mute or not is the best thing.

I have ADHD, and hear the “aren’t we all a little bit…” a lot when I meet new people. But it’s absolutely MIND BOGGLING when people say that to a deaf person. 😳

I'm autistic and while I am hearing, I felt this. " oh but you can talk" " oh but you can work" it goes on and on but when I dare melt down or not mask, I get the " oh I thought you were high functioning " " I think you're playing it up now "

You being able to talk while deaf is really impressive to me. You cant hear yourself, yet you make sure other people can hear you. Thats really considerate and impressive

"I don't have legs"
"well, you have other body parts, so you can still walk"

[Cold_Sup]

“I’m deaf.”
“Nah”



Edit: I ate a bean one time

Also people can become deaf after learning to speak! If someone says they're deaf, they're probably deaf, no matter how they speak.

I wish more people understood this, and also that even if some deaf people can vocalize, that doesn’t mean they can speak. My second cousin and his wife are both completely deaf and while they can of course make noises, it’s mostly just grunts and other noises like that that they make as they sign. It made communication a little more cumbersome at family reunions for most people, but for my little brother and I, we had a lot more fun talking to them using our tablets because it was much less overwhelming. We had entire conversations typed out through our notes app and I’m sad that those files eventually got deleted.

“Its just D E A F” *jazz jands* lmao I loved that

[OnlySamsWRLD]

Can we all just notice how pretty she is like you’re so pretty❤

[AwwesomeVal]

Tip for cashiers: if you have a pen and paper you can write to the deaf ppl when they need to talk to you. I did that for a long time and it's very easy.

[tinabeanajustabean]

Someone saying the classic "aren't we all X sometimes?" TO A DEAF PERSON is next level

[miitsunyan]

as a deaf person myself, this is sooo relatable! 😭😭 it's so hard to explain people about this, people just refuse to understand doesn't matter how many times I've been trying to elaborate! !

[xkkr]

She is such a hoot!! Ahh I love this so much 😂❤🙏 amazing

[xRippero]

Shes adorable, protect this woman at all costs

[lillianinspace]

I’m a cashier and I’m studying asl. I love being able to communicate with the few deaf people that come in (even if I’m a little sloppy lol). It always makes them smile :)

[Dr-Card-Or-Dr-Cardo]

My niece is mostly deaf and I’m gonna start learning sign language soon
