Audism and Deaf with a capital D
Say What? Audism? Don't you mean Autism? No, it's not a typo. I recently polled several friends and co-workers, both deaf/hard of hearing and hearing, if they knew the word. No one had. It´s not yet in a dictionary, so I will tell you what it means. I remember seeing the word a few times in other deaf forums and blogs but thought it was a typo until I began reading [...]

Deaf charities disabling?
Grumpy Old Deafies Yesterday DeafDC published a post: Are Deaf Grant seekers Disabling Themselves? When I caught the title of the post, I immediately thought that this was going to be a post about paternalism, and the effect of charity can bring. However, I was wrong, and it was a post around not applying for enough grants. This is possibly an example of how attitudes, and possibly [...]

DeafDC.com The Gallaudet protests of 2006 had a profound impact on deaf education in general.

Deaf Community Unfair to WVSDB?

Do you agree with their assessment or not?  Please share your opinions.  I feel it is more important that they get honest feedback from the Deaf Community itself.   At the [...]

Isn't ASL the same as English, just with signs?
The Talkie In my opinion, this is one the biggest Deaf-Hearing barriers.  While many hearing children pick up some ASL from Deaf friends, they never really LEARN ASL, they just sign as they would speak English, I know this because that's what I did.  Then as they grow older, if they don't stay in touch with their Deaf friends they forget.  But what they never really [...]
