I get that too. Someone asking me who my 'minder' is. I told them Jilli. (Of course I know that's not true and perhaps it will probably reinforce another steriotype) Truth is me and Jilli take care of each other but I don't really have a minder or need one either.
For more questions:
Have you experienced any guys who asume that just because you are deafblind that you are also desperate for just about ANYONE? Or guys that try to do everything for you. I have that type of guy really freaks me out.
2. Hope you don't mind me asking this as you mentioned you are adopted in another thread but also mention your parents sometimes. I assume you mean your adopted parents. Do you think of them as parents or do you mention parents rather then adopted parents just to save space? Also are your sisters adopted too?
3. How does hearing with a cochlear implant compaire to hearing when you used to be just hard of hearing?
