please remember that super hearing is not the default for autistic people.

autistic people are 10 times more likely to have hearing loss than allistic people! so many of us aren't able to hear the lights or the fridge. we're often sensory seeking for sounds because we're deprived of them. even when we are sensory avoidant for sounds our sensory avoidance frequently presents differently

hearing is not the default for autism

super hearing is not a universal autism experience

please remember deaf/hard of hearing autistics

I know it’s not the biggest thing but why is it so hard for people to grasp what the purpose of subtitles is cause I am so sick of being spoiled by them revealing characters’s names/purpose before the dialogue does.

[hard-of-death]

15 years later and I still don't understand why you can put advertisements on fucking captions like ??? I'm deaf I want to know what is being said not buy ur damn ass product !!!

People talk about capitalism hell as if it wasn't here but fuck damn if it isn't here already for us

[deadvalentine]

No offense but we should boycott Crunchyroll until they get over themselves and have subtitles for dubbed anime. The audacity and ableism is not ok, and with the recent merge of Crunchyroll and Funimation a lot of people won't be able to use the service because we NEED subtitles

[mxoleander]

if you reblog a video and add "unmute!" or something similar, i'm putting you under a mummy's curse until you add captions

More tips on hearing aids and writing them!

Shout out to people that will never be able to speak “flawlessly” in another language because they are mute, semi verbal, or have a speech impediment, shout out to people that will always need captions/subtitles when watching stuff in their target language because they have hearing loss, APD, etc.

Shout out to people who can't stick to strict routines to study because they have chronic fatigue, chronic pain, ADHD, or alike, shout out to people whose spelling will never be perfect because they are dyslexic, to people who will always struggle to write in other alphabets because they have motrix issues.

Shout out to people whose brains won’t collaborate when they want it to, hindering their study. To people who will always have to neglect one aspect of language because of their disability, to people that have to work with inaccessible resources and are told to just “put up” with it and to just get through

Shout out to people that are disabled and neurodivergent and have to deal daily with the expectations and impossible goals people put on us that deems us “not good enough” in our own language, and much less in any target language we might have

I love when people mistakes the "I love you" ASL sign (🤟) for the "Devil horns" gesture (🤘)

Like hell yeah dude you are so tough and edgy while signing I love you, I love you too, whatever 🤟💜

hearing people will never understand how frustrating and sometimes depressing it is for me to hear the phrase "never mind"

[wheelie-sick]

happy deaf month to all the deafies who aren't palatable to hearing people!!! happy deaf month to every deaf person who:

refuses to speak for hearing people and only signs

prefers signing to speaking

refuses to wear hearing aids or cochlear implants

refuses to engage with people who aren't willing to accommodate them

doesn't "try their hardest" to fit in with the hearing world

doesn't care to fit into the hearing world and prefers the Deaf world

doesn't tone down their bluntness for hearing people

you are wonderful and ILY 🤟

You can tell me to stop buying Apple products when Samsung and other brands improve their HOH/Deaf accessibility features

Either way though I shouldn’t be tethered to one brand just because the accessibility market happens to be better with one product; there should be a standard of production when it comes to accessibility features

[hard-of-death]

There are truly no words to describe how much I fucking despise how the only posts about D/deaf and HoH people that get any actual recognition are made by... hearing fucking people

And in most of the cases, hearing people with no relation to the Deaf community, or that held audits and ableist ideology very tight to they heart and do not speaking at all for us

And is not because we are not vocal! We are, our voices are just being ignored and drowned under the voices of hearing people and is just. so. fucking. tiring
