Newsflash: he’s not a charity case, he’s not living in silence and darkness ok, he’s deaf blind. His disability isn’t a death sentence and he’s going to be just fine!!

[@leorobin832]

Being deaf blind is mostly living with little to no sight or hearing so he is living in mostly silence and milky darkness. Idk why you are trying to retort that. Obviously its not a death sentence, no one said it was. Its just a challenge. This is just depicting a special moment of teaching him more about how to explore the world. Its the news so they made it a bit dramatic obviously.

I wish him the best in life. I can’t imagine going through what this kid is going through, as I’m making a show and I need both these things to see and hear what I’m making. Sorry if I’m making this all about me, I seriously wish him the best.

Wow

I am also convincing the music shops and instrument shops around the world for the contribution of $7 or 7 lbs a month for the blind deaf and mute healing Union research institute

Helen Keller was deaf and blind and if you take off the shoes of someone like that you have signals from the bottom of your feet and in your hands you need to get a chart a foot chart and hand chart that would explain how Helen Keller was able to communicate Ray Charles didn't wear shoes until he was was in his teens early twenties he lost his sight the age of six he got around without shoes until he was in early twenties

This story should convince you that Helen Keller story is bullshit. She was blind and deaf but ended up giving speeches about the virtues of socialism. How many speeches do you think this little boy is gonna give? They can’t communicate with others verbally in any way.
Is this boy’s Mom just not as smart as Keller’s handlers? Or is it more likely that Keller’s handlers used her as a mouthpiece, to espouse the virtues of socialism? Imagine being blind and deaf yourself, and ask yourself if you could develop an opinion regarding red vs blue, and how you would express that opinion. Now expand on that and figure out how you would become politically and economically aware simply by the touch of the ONE PERSON in the world who can “speak” to you.
To believe Keller had opinions is among the most tonedeaf, ignorant, naive beliefs that anyone in the current world holds.

How the hell can he hear the music if he’s deaf? Does he feel the vibrations?

[@Girl_-fs6nx]

Yes, he felt the vibrations, also he had a hearing aid, and cochlear implant, so he could hear some.
