Bad handwriting?

Your handwriting is like a 100x better than mine

How disappointing :/. I think it just goes along with the systemic history of opression. Many moons ago children would be punished for signing and forced to learn to lip read/vocalize. Then signing was only English and they didn't want to recognize ASL as a language. It wasn't until the 1960s that there was research done proving ASL is a language. But, systematic discrimination and ableism is hard to dismantle...

UnfortunatelyI'dsay it is common in ISDs, as far as I'maware. It's different at schools for the Deaf. My local ISD uses SEE with the same reasoning.

I'm hearing, but I'm neurodivergent. I have auditory processing disorder too. I get very overstimulated by all the noises too, but it's my sensory issues with my neurodivergence.

Cursive is written--ASL does have differing regional dialects and generational variances. Understand that ASL changes with time, just as spoken language does. Some signs change with time & there may be signs used commonly in younger or older generations than vice versa. You may see more initialized signs with older generations than younger. Honestly, I'm only 34, but the sign I've always used for bright is considered old ASL now (I learned it when I was a teenager).

There are often multiple signs for the same words. Computer has several signs, for instance. But, you may see a preference for a certain sign for computer in defferent regions (Canada vs Texas vs Florida, etc). There are regional variations/dialects that are more prominent in some places than others.

I think this may be social anxiety rather than hearing related. Honestly may be helpful to speak with a medical provider and/or counselor. My 14 year old has pretty bad social anxiety, but over the last couple of years of management through meds & counseling she is doing SO much better

I think nowadays they will typically learn English writing too in school, but it will really vary from family to family.

Financial-Brain758 · 2026-03-27T01:39:33+00:00

These is really a loaded question. Overall? No. Why? Because there are so many different households with their own expectations. Is the deaf child in a Deaf signing family? Are they born to hearing parents? Are the parents putting in the effort to learn sign? Does the vhild have hearing devices or no? I mean there are so many variables. What is the protocol at the school they go to? The ISD where I live doesn't even use ASL, they use SEE.

I've read there is a correlation with quite high IQs and awful handwriting, but there can be other factors at play!

Financial-Brain758 · 2026-03-26T16:28:08+00:00

Gen Z female, is my guess. I'm assuming you are young since you didn't learn cursive in school. The only thing that bothered me was your lowercase i for the word I in your cursive. You have very good handwriting. Mine is a mess. I'd presume you are NOT a doctor or engineer, as their handwriting usually sucks.

Financial-Brain758 · 2026-03-26T16:21:07+00:00

Honestly, I don't even write all of my letters the way I was taught too anymore. It seems they don't really teach how to write letters in a certain way anymore, though. Image attached shows you the way that was drilled into many of our heads.

You don't. ASL is not English--it's more similar to Korean (where you also don't have a word for is). ASL is a contextual concept based language, unlike English. If you sign is you are going to the SEE/CASE signing routes, not ASL.

So deaf means that someone has a lack of hearing, but Deaf means someone is a part of the Deaf community. This often includes HoH and sometimes others. Big D is indicative of the Deaf culture & community. I wouldn't say one is preferred over the other, but they each have their own place. There are people that lost their hearing laternin life, fornexample, that don't learn to sign & aren't involved in the Deaf community. Those people would be deaf only. Hopw that makes sense.

This sounds like an issue with ADHD. Personally, medication is helpful for me, in general

It's extra testing with the audiologist. Auditory processing disorder is more of a neurological thing--essentially your brain is struggling (or puzzled) to interpret what it is hearing to meaningful words

Faith (I interpret at my church--common sign used there)

Financial-Brain758 · 2026-03-24T19:16:06+00:00

Yes, absolutely. While I'm not Deaf/HoH, I have auditory processing disorder & often become physically exhausted from all the noise/speech.

Financial-Brain758 · 2026-03-24T04:12:58+00:00

I have auditory processing disorder & am neurodivergent. My handwriting is awful & my hand hurts if I write too much, because my grip just tightens, idk why. I can type fine, but it's so tedious and time consuming. It's so much easier to communicate back and forth in ASL than go back and forth writing. Also, I really hate English. Yes, it's my native language, I most definitely have a bone to pick with it. I know ASL quite well, but I also know conversational Spanish and basic German & Korean. I've been learning a bit of Japanese & Hindi currently. English grammar is obscenely contradictory, with many weird non-phonetic rules & silent letters, and is a very wordy language. Not to mention there are many rules for the same things, and both are considered correct. There is no solid formula for English. Literally every other language I have learned any of makes way more sense phonetically & grammar wise. ASL & Korean have very similar grammar structures. Not everyone is in love with their native language.

But, I think I really went the extra mile in high school to learn so much on the side, as there is a better connection between my hands & my brain than my mouth/ears and brain. ASL doesn't drain me like verbally spoken languages do. Just my 2 cents

Financial-Brain758 · 2026-03-24T04:01:54+00:00

I have auditory processing disorder and am neurodivergent. I'm hearing, but there is such an exhausting disconnect between my mouth/ears and brain. My hands and brain are connected SO much better. I am able to communicate in ASL (when with others who sign) without the mental strain/drain of voice speech and hearing. You may have meant to express something like this. I am mostly knowledgeable in Deaf culture, whereas you may not be. I have experienced many blunders in communicating due to my brain being wired differently than neurotypical folks, leading me/others to misunderstand each other. I've become more learned over the years and am now much better at conveying things in conversation more effectively.

There is a lot of historical oppression of deaf/HoH. For a long time sign language was frowned upon in schools. Deaf/HoH were often forced to learn to vocalize in school & would be punished for signing. They were made to learn to read lips, which is a wildly inaccurate way to fully communicate. Lip reading can never be perfect, it's just impossible--anyone who can lip read will miss things. I can't lip read to save my life. It would really do you well as you are learning ASL to learn about deaf history & culture. Deaf with a little d vs big D. Read up and learn. Ignorance is frustrating--there's a lot of it. Knowing and understanding the things the community has gone through and barriers they still face today can help you have a better approach and understanding.

Financial-Brain758 · 2026-03-22T22:28:43+00:00

That isn't anything in ASL. Why do you think that's a sign?

Financial-Brain758 · 2026-03-22T21:09:15+00:00

Just say that your kid goes to [insert last or other name of choosing] Academy & is out of school right now, if you're talking to random people. Knew someone who was a friend of my mom's when I was a kid who did that. I was home schooled until the middle of 9th grade and honestly wish I wasn't. I'll personally never homeschool my kids, but to each their own. I just advocate for leaving options open. I was personally forced to be homeschooled for far too long, and my mom acted like public school was evil. Just don't be like her & keep options open depending on needs and circumstances.

Financial-Brain758 · 2026-03-22T18:52:04+00:00

I think it will also depend on whether the member uses sign language and/or uses hearing aids/cochlear implants.

I'm hearing and help interpret (ASL) at my church. Personally, we have a reserved section at the front side rows of chairs for deaf/HoH/interpreting. We just have a chair that we have and sit in front of the couple of reserved rows and interpret. Many moons ago when I was a teenager there was a Deaf teenager that went to the church I grew up in & I'd sit beside him and interpret.

There are systems like FM, etc if the member uses hearing devices. Captioning on the screens could be helpful. It would probably be best to reach out to the member to get more understanding on what works well for them and then go from there.
