Yes I understand now, thank you.
I had to do this type of method you mentioned to one of my blind friend during my high school years. She is hearing but she wanted to learn sign language and the only way she can learn is through sense of touch.
I wonder if part of reason for uneasiness among deaf people is some of them don't know English very well? Maybe it's awkward for them to make attempt to communicate since they only know pure ASL? Nonetheless, it's still no excuse for them not to try at all.
I do find what people did to you as rude thing to do. I am not fond of people touching me, but I am willing to do that if it helps keep communicate going, which I had to with my blind friend. I am just type of person that don't let someone's disability scare me, after all I have one too, lol.
Again, thank you for explaining it to me.
