While my point about this was geared more towards blindness and the fact people will speak louder and slower to me, this is often true for someone who does not speak a certain language. Its as if speaking louder makes it more clear haha.
People still act strangely around people who have visible disabilities. You've probably gotten weird questions such as, "Oh my gawd. You're blind! Can y'all use the bathroom by yourself?" Or, "Can you hear in color?" All asked in a LOUD voice.
@@TDS.Harper Sometimes yes. But I try to remember that most of the time its coming from genuine curiosity, and often misinformation about people with disabilities. At any point if they are being malicious, I just pretend I can't hear them.
