Willing To Learn?

This morning while I was unable to sleep my brain offered up this little factoid:

Nobody in my life has been willing to learn sign language to communicate with me.

Roscko


"Mrow? Purr. Mrrrrp."

If I don't have the hearing aids on, I have no idea Roscko's making all these little noises.

I guess I'm saying, I'm glad he's not holding it against me that I'm deaf.

Self-Diagnosis

I'm not sure if "imposter syndrome" is the correct term to describe what I'm feeling most of the time. 

I've never felt like I was part of the Deaf community, not really. Growing up mainstreamed meant that I spent my time among the other kids in public education, for the most part. I've learned enough sign language to manage communicating, but I don't get to sign often enough. 

I had an unscheduled mental break in 2022 & was forced to reconcile my identity, abilities, and sense of self-worth. 

I do not have access to a psychiatrist because they are in short supply in Ontario. I am eternally grateful to my partner for listening to me deconstruct my entire life in an effort to put it back together. I suppose this is why I now consider myself to be autistic first, deaf second.
