It must get tiring!

[CSign]

You provide your son with complete access to language? How? You are clear that you have no experience with ASL, then how can you communicate with your son?????

correction: I had no experience with ASL when my child was born.

I communicate quite effectively with my son. It's been made pretty clear in this thread a part of how I communicate with him.

You know, I have to agree with the title of the thread, though. It really must get tiring having to create so much dissention to try and manipulate people into seeing you as a victim and giving you a pity pat on the back. Now it has reached the point that the threads are not enough, people are resorting to PM in anattempt to sway people away from supporting me. It must be very tiring, indeed, to be so obsessed with such childish games.

It is so much easier to learn to deal with people from a cross cultural perspective, and to allow others the rights they have earned, by living it, to be the experts on Deafness than it is to keep up a constant attempt to manipulate and gain credibility by discrediting anyone that disagrees with your newly formed view. Yes, that has to be tiring, indeed.

interesting.

Kristina always makes me look bad! :P

I can't get to the coils under the fridge. Definitely a design flaw!

It's okay. I know now that there is at least one other person with dusty refigerator coils. I am not alone!

interesting.

I personally found it hysterical. And predictable.

For most of us Deaf people, growing up, we were always told we were wrong or didnt know as much as hearing people did.

How does it feel to be on the other end of the stick? Try to feel that and maybe understand how belitting general society has been to many of us while we were growing up.

Jillio - in your defense, I'm sure there is no one who could get be to stop supporting you any time soon. You have a sound mind. You articulate your thoughts wonderfully. You fully support the Deaf. You have helped a lot of people in their own journey with hearing loss. I am one of those, and for that, I truly thank you.

Awww...thank you! Statements like that are why I continue, no matter the oppposition from a few. I know that the ones who truly matter to me are appreciative. And I am appreciative of what the Deaf have taught me, and continue to teach me. I see our relationship as a mutual learning experience. Sometimes I am the teacher, sometimes you all are the teachers.

I actually wasn't worried. I know that my Deaf friends are not in the least disloyal or fickle. I found it amusing that anyone would think they were.

I hated that growing up, I do not know how many times a teacher pick on me not 'knowing' something, when I could not hear.

Lol

You have demonstrated that you know nothing of intervention. That was a valid observation, as I explained, intervention is one of the most confrontational areas of mental health care. You claimed it wasn't, in effect.

Your degrees don't concern me. Human ecology is not my field nor is it related to psychology, especially clinical psychology. And a bachelor in psychology gives you the opportunity to go on and earn post graduate degrees. It does not permit you to practice, nor to call yourself a psychologist nor to claim expertise in the field. Your degrees have virtually nothing to do with this thread, or with the level of audsim and ethnocentism the vast majority of AD members are seeing and experiencing.

Oh, I see how this works now! You can criticize me, but I am not free to respond in kind! I just didn't realize that was the way it worked, as I am more of an equitable kind of gal.

Ok I am fed up with this entire discussion Jillio I bet your a short gal, you definately have a Napoleon complex..Just FYI, you are incorrect about my qualifications and what they allow. I have participated and am qualified to mediated intervertions. The difference between deaf and Deaf...those that are deaf are having hearing loss, Deaf on the other hand may be hearing but are deeply involved with the culture of the community. I have no misunderstanding of the words I use. I am indeed qualified to work as a clinical psychologist and have. I suggest you read my dissertation on Reality vs Pretense..I actually feel sorry for you. smile, I forgive your accusations but be careful about my certifications, degrees and experience, I will not have someone at your level suggesting things that are not true...Im done
smile and good night to all....Midnight...♥♥♥

Some days I hoped I had a phd so I could toss around statements to my inferior underlings. Read this! I was Principal investigator/co-PI in this study! I am certified in this discussion!
On a second thought... nahhh

this post alone basically rendered rest of your posts and this thread useless. you just shot yourself in the foot.

Live Long and Prosper.

Intervertions? No, dear, you are not qualified to work as a clinical psycholgist in any state in the U.S. You cannot practice clinical psychology without either a Ph.D. or a Psy.D. in clinical psychology. In fact, I am certain that the APA would be very interested in the fact that you are misrepresenting yourself and your qualifications by stating that you can practice clinical psychology. You can't even identify yourself as a psychologist without a PhD, or a PsyD. In fact, I am ethically obligated to report anyone who is claiming to practice without a degree and the proper credentials.

Your ad hominems are hysterical.
Thanks, however, for showing all that your "peace" and "smile" and rainbows and unicorns was not reality when it comes to your true personality.

I have no interest in reading your dissertation, as the above post indicates that you have difficulty in discerning the difference between reality and pretense, as you are pretending to be a psychologist and are pretending to practice clinical psychology.

I get bored of working for my social psych + genetics PI sometimes. There's just way too much stress involved at the end of a grant rearch and deadlines are triple decker beefed up.
psych is indeed a taxing area to be in. But the rewards must be worth it to those who like it.

I presume you are directing this at me. I've not once in my life viewed someone who was d/Deaf or "disabled" in any way as less than. Or incapable.

In fact I know otherwise. It has always been my goal to empower people. To encourage them to embrace that which makes them unique and to celebrate it.

In terms if the bolded statement above, I've never been on "that side of the stick", but I can tell you it sure isn't fun being shot down at every corner. Being labeled something that rocks me to my core.

I've never had any interest in putting people down. It doesn't make me feel
good to hurt people, and being an empathetic person I often can feel others
pain. So I wouldn't want to be on either end of "that stick".

I don't like the fact that there are ignorant, mean, vicious people out there. I can't do anything about that.

What I can do is make sure I live my life with an open mind, open heart, and open arms. In the mean time, help educate as many people as I can to give them better understanding and respect for those that are d/Deaf.

I wouldn't consider doing anything else. But I agree completely regarding the stress over grants and research.

 

[CSign]

I should add that I don't think it does anyone any good to perpetuate the cycle of hate.

 

[whatdidyousay!]

I've never told anybody to be anything they are not. I encourage people to be true to who they are.

You're complaining about people expressing their feelings the way they want to. Woman you if can't admit how you really feel that is not my fault, just don't tell me that I much be tried for expressing my feeling. I been told all my life as child to not say how I felt in my own way , and no one it going to tell me how I should feel now. Do what to know something the only thing tiring around here right now it you.

You might want to check with the Deaf before you appoint yourself to educate anyone about them. It is not something you should presume they want you to do.

Wow! Now we have people resorting to threats in visitor messages. This just keeps getting more and more bizarre.

But just so everyone knows that I said nothing that was not accurate:

QUALIFICATIONS TO PRACTICE CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGY

An earned doctorate from a Clinical Psychology program represents the basic entry level for the provision of Clinical Psychology services. Unique to Clinical Psychology training is the requirement of substantial course work in the areas of personality and psychopathology, resulting in comprehensive understanding of normal and abnormal adjustment and maladjustment across the life span.

The American Psychological Association sets the standards for Clinical Psychology graduate programs and recognizes programs meeting these standards through an accreditation process. All states require a license to practice Clinical Psychology.
