      I believe she went deaf later in life, so she would have learned to talk "normally" before that. But it's important to remember many deaf people don't talk at all which is also perfectly fine. Some people view speech as superior to sign language, which has been a harmful mindset to a lot of Deaf people. (Not saying that you were meaning that, just as a general PSA. 😊)

    "Disability is RARELY the problem. The problem is often society creating arbitrary barriers and we all need to work together to remove those barriers." -Haben
    I couldn't agree more with this assessment. It's similar to my experience as an autistic adult whose been bending the world around me for years.

      It also depends on the kind of disability. Because when you have MS or nerve issues, it's hard to focus. It's really about the level of energy and equipment to help you work.

      People rarely go out of their way to help others in something that won't benefit themselves somehow. It's not that they're creating barriers, they just don't want to take the effort to accommodate the disability. If you were a business owner and you had the choice of hiring a disabled person who needed specialized access to the building, specialized equipment to work, etc. vs someone who doesn't, it's a no brainer.
      This goes the same for hiring women who are child bearing and require maternity leave.
      Not saying it's right, just telling it how it is.

      Being a woman is a disability?

    • @sosassteelstrings9623
      @sosassteelstrings9623 Před 4 lety +1

      Im not sure if that was a serious question (probably not). But I'll still answer.
      Being a woman isn't a disability. Woman just like any other being is us of value and can become great.
      But when you have a mentality that the world is rigged to favor straight white men. Being a woman is seen as an underdog of sorts.
      Whether being a woman is disadvantages, true or not. A contradiction to that way of thinking is the marvelous, hard working, young lady in the video.
      She decided to take her future and develop into something greater than what people may have told her. (You're female, of color, a refugee, deaf, & blind. In this part of the world you can't succeed)
      She decided to take responsibility of her life. Not to wait for the world to change (it won't ). All we can do is change our habits and our mentality to then change our outcome

    When she says “Don’t call me inspirational.”, I cannot help, but to smile and 100% agree with her statement. The fact that society has this horrible mindset that causes them to either put us down with pity or place us on pedestals and say that we are clearly inspirational to people who aren’t disabled is really harmful to people with disabilities as a whole. I don’t see myself as being inspirational because of having cerebral palsy and ADHD, and I try really hard to keep my composure when people say that to me. If people could only open their minds and realize that no matter the disability, we are just as much the same as time, we can educate them and get rid of society’s stereotypes and messed up perceptions of disabilities once and for all.

    I rarely think about my disability until I put on my hearing aids and then it's very difficult to process the sounds I'm not used to hearing, so I don't wear them. If people can be deaf and adapt, I can choose to be hearing impaired and adapt as well.

    This is amazing. I'm surprised without the ability to hear how she knows how to pronounce words? I thought deaf people struggle with speech because they have no reference.

      Maybe she went deaf after she learned to speak.

    • @TheGlacier05

      Actually, she sounds a bit robotic when speaking, which I assume is because she never got the hang of speech inflections. But yeah, I wonder how she got so proficient with pronunciation.

    More videos should be like this then. They may cost more and may be more labor intensive but there should be a channel with videos just like this so there's an option.

  • @liamneels8197
    @liamneels8197 Před 4 lety +1

    I am 100% impressed by her ability to speak. After I learned how difficult it is to speak without sound, I do not take it for granted. When deaf people try to speak, how do you correct them? When their “of” sounds like “off” or their “phone” sounds like “pony”? You can’t just say “listen to what I say and replicate it”, nor can they hear their pronunciation and mimic yours. Add onto that the nuance of expression, natural intonation, and the constant tricky words to pronounce, and it is truly an amazing sight. I know there are many other things to delight in that she has conquered, and she astounds me with all, but sometimes I hear people say: why don’t deaf people just learn to talk? Hopefully my comment can shed some light on the major blocks to that, and also, how we try to conform people into our hearing world rather than making room for everyone. She is a remarkable person.

      Mike Simmons ‘Your ‘ country was built using the pillaged and stolen resources and labour of those ‘3rd World ‘ countries. They’ve earned the right to benefit from their stolen resources and labour. Anyway how have you contributed to your country? And yet you want to block others for assessing and contributing to your country? Be honest with yourself and realize your sense of entitlement rests weakly on the coincidence of your birth.
