My view on sign language/non sign language with CI.

Also I have pictures of people here from their writing in my mind. I think just shows how visually oriented we are.

Or announcers on the radio. How many times I've seen the real face and been shocked at how different it was from the face I'd imagined!

Absolutely! Been there, done that!

U mean ASL, right? ".....exposed with CI,.....".

Damn, yep - you got a good eye. That's what I meant. I must have been somewhat tired or something to do this mistake

Ha, ha. The hairy bodybuilder with squeaky voice comes to mind. People often picture people with squeaky voice as pale nerds with glasses.

My cousin's son isn't a twin.

I know, I was talking about Mari, the mother of the twin boys from Sound and Fury documentary. One of the boys was born deaf. I said, that even though she has deaf parents, she still choose to implant one of the deaf twin boys. People may have been against her implanting her deaf son, but Mari still had her feelings as a mother of a deaf child.
