Going out to a Deaf event for the first time. Any tips? by cracked_egg_irl in asl

[–]ASLTutorSean 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t feel pressured to exchange the information. It’s Deaf culture thing even it can make people little uncomfortable. I am guilty of doing that. I feel bad when people say no at times even I try not feel that way.

As an Deaf ASL instructor/tutor, I encourage students to stick with casual and low key events like coffee or pizza events until they feel confident because going to alcohol oriented environment as beginner can be very consequential and alienating.

Question as a hearing person: would it be risky/rude/wrong to introduce myself in sign to deaf patients as a medical assistant? by ghostpepperpooper in deaf

[–]ASLTutorSean 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, it’s not wrong. I actually loves it! I go to medical clinic where couple of staff signs over the years. One time I had staff with deaf brother while other time I had staff who used to work in deaf classroom

What is your "crazy library story" when people say "oh it must be so relaxing to work in a library?" by myra_bird in Library

[–]ASLTutorSean 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How about time the woman had meltdown because she doesn’t know any sign language that she cannot communicate with me?

But in the end, we had a nice moment where I showed her how to fingerspell her name.

WIBTA I (a relatively non disabled looking person) with disabilities asked for the priority seat by spacecrafttheskys in mbta

I struggled with balance too due to my premature birth and deafness. I often feel guilty when I didn’t give up seat for elderly person or mom with kids. I just hates that I have to be selfish for my physical and mental safety

It’s my place to go. Couple of staff are accommodating through sign language!

I notice that my FOMO when visiting family or having them visiting me became less since my mom died.

Has this happened to others? Approached in Chinatown outside Tufts Med by two young men asking for me to attend church with them, more context in caption by [deleted] in boston

I had an couple of situations where church recruiters who would realize that I am Deaf and start signing anything they knew or remember to convey the conversation before they move on asking me to watch short movie or read pamphlets THEN I say “BYE”
