[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DH is very hard of hearing so he wears hearing aids. Even though he is perfectly conversational, every now and then someone will attempt to respond in sign language, typically a thank you or goodbye. DH doesn't know sign language and he finds it irritating. But he also doesn't make a deal out of it and laughs it off because he knows people are just attempting to be nice. DH has also had incidents with individuals who treated him as if he was "deaf and dumb" with everything it implies. Rarely, but it comes up every now and then and it infuriates him. But the little boy responding to your kid falls into the first category, not the latter. [/quote] This is ableism, which is also horrible.[/quote]
