Exactly. Not hearing and not seeing is normal to a deafblind person.  Just as not hearing is normal to a deaf person, and not seeing is normal to a blind person.  While those conditions may not be normal for the hearing and the sighted, it could also be said that to hear and to see is considered to be abnormal for the deaf/blind. Normal is subjective and based on individual perspective and circumstance.  That is why suggesting that a person with a disability is "not normal" is very offensive.
