That is not ASL he is writing. LOL!
I think what happened was that he was deprived of language during his formative years so even learning ASL later on still wouldnt solve his literacy problems. That is happening to too many deaf children and it pisses me off cuz it is such a waste trying to focus on oral language only and then later on introduce them to ASL when it was apparent they couldnt pick up on spoken language.
What about Deaf children from Deaf families who have higher literacy skills than deaf children from hearing families? They were exposed to ASL during their first 5 years therefore making the transition to learning English easier.
