Being deaf

Tal 3.21.2023 I Think that deaf people have to be thinking more. That might come as the obvious but some people don’t realize. Deaf people have to think more than others because many times we have to understand everything in ways that can make information understandable.

Being a person who is deaf and non speaking makes it even worse. It’s worse because most people that are around you didn’t believe you can do much. I think it is really affected how i see myself. It’s hard to hear how people talk about me when your brain is always working to solve problems that others didn’t know were a problem. I think these barriers I overcame make me want to use the ci (Cochlear Implant) less. Think that I have overcome these problems till now. I know I can manage them in the future. Even though wearing my ci would make my life easier i want prove all the things i can do as a deaf person with autism

Think the best you to have the is the good to keep me for the good
