How should I go about learning this? Should I take a course?
Born with the Rh Disease, he lost about 75-80% of his hearing capabilities. He learned how to utilize lip-syncing, toneless speech, and writing as his ways of communicating with other people.
He found his passion for basketball at an early age and was blessed with a growth spurt in his eighth grade where he grew from 5'10" to 6'4".
In the year 2000, he was offered a basketball scholarship by the University of Utah where he played the center position at a height of 6'11". Unfortunately, he was verbally abused by his coach which led him to transfer to another university, Weber State.
During his senior year at Weber State, Allred averaged 18ppg and 12rpg, helping his team reach the championship game of the Big Sky Tournament, and ultimately giving him some traction to play basketball overseas.
After three years of professional basketball, the Cleveland Cavaliers signed Lance to two ten-day contracts on the latter half of the 2007-2008 NBA season, making his historical debut at the age of 27. Ultimately, he came back to playing professional basketball overseas and became an inspirational speaker and author.
Lance Allred, the first and only legally-deaf NBA player in history played a total of three NBA games with per-game averages of ~3 minutes, 1 point, 25% FG, and 50% FT.
*edit: put his debut age in
How were the deaf treated by soceity and by their family in early history? Were there any prominent deaf people in early history? Do we even have a document that references a deaf person prior to the expansion to the new world? I've only heard anything about deaf history post American Colonization, so I'm mostly interested in the renaissance and before. (Sorry if this question is too vauge.)

U als lezer staat vandaag mij aan de wieg, van wat later de grootste doofpotoperatie uit de geschiedenis van de mensheid zal blijken.
De bijlage is lang en veel om te lezen, maar ik raad iedereen aan de tijd ervoor te nemen.
Zeker als je weet dat de klokkenluider 12 jaar onderzoek en eigen middelen investeerde om dit alles uit te zoeken en bloot te leggen.

Hi everyone! I am a deaf artist from Cleveland, Ohio. I enjoy illustrating deaf art. I just wanted to share some of the cool stuff that's on t-shirts, tote bags, sweatshirts, hoodies, and as well magnets, stickers, masks, coffee mugs, etc. It would be awesome to support deaf artists like myself! They are available here: http://rmcbuckeye.redbubble.com
ALSO! I am looking for new ideas - what kind of ASL art would you want to see out there? I am currently working on the ABC's individually, too.

Hello there! I'm a HOH autistic leftist content creator. Normally I stream on Twitch, but I've been wanting to get some (captioned) video essays out on Youtube on topics that are important to me and broader social justice and left-wing causes.
For my first topic, I'm aiming for "Nothing About Us Without Us" and why well-meaning allies should never run or control marginalized spaces.I illustrated my thoughts on this in this comment I made during the founding of this sub. I love talking about Deaf history on my streams and will be centering it in the video.
I'm here hoping for some suggestions, as I am currently in the research phase. So far, I've read Gerald Shea's "Language of Light" book on Deaf history, portions of "Open Your Eyes: Deaf Studies Talking", portions of Harlan Lane's "Mask of Benevolence", and a few other sources.
Saint Jacques and Berthier's banquets in 19th century are currently what I'm thinking about for why Deaf spaces shouldn't be hearing run, but I'm curious if anyone had any other thoughts on this? Are there any other pivotal events or points that would make sense here? Any pitfalls? Is my entire premise terrible? I'd love to hear your thoughts.
The victim complex leads to the lack of empathy and increased selfishness in the community. This isn't the only thing that causes this spread though.
When people that are more traditional see more sensitivity towards problems that are clearly less tangible, like someone's overwhelming sadness, than their inability to make the rent or put food on the table, it makes these [traditional] people learn to discredit mental and emotional health problems. It feels like people complaining about their mental health online often just want others to feel sorry for them as opposed to having real problems to deal with. This is not always true, but I see a lot of pampered people on here. I do believe mental and emotional problems can be serious, but we only hear one side of the story on Reddit and sometimes we need to take a deep look in the mirror for what could be responsible. I am generally pretty open minded but some of the "stay woke" ideas can be extremely off-putting
From the little cursory reading I've done on Wikipedia, it seems that a lot of our knowledge of sign language is dependent upon hearing people taking an interest in deaf people. These hearing people then codify the language in a manner that's understood by other hearing people and get credited as being the founder of a sign language. When in reality sign languages are a naturally occuring rich language created by deaf peoples. Do we have many sources from the perspective of deaf people on their own languages? This is a rather broad question in both geography and time, but if there's any scholars who can answer it with regards their own specific field I would be grateful.
While reading a text about Aristotle, I found a brief mention of his views on the deaf. Claiming they were incapable of reasoning and unable to learn, Aristotle asserted that the deaf were less intelligent than the blind and should not be allowed to participate in politics. This belief seemed to have been mirrored by the rest of the Greek world at the time.
As deafness would seem to be less directly threatening to one's life than blindness, I was surprised to learn that the deaf were often seen as inferior to the blind. Could it have been that the deaf were less able to communicate than the blind due to the vast majority of the ancient world being illiterate, and thus communication via writing not being an option, or were there other social and cultural biases involved? I'm deeply curious now, and would love any insight on the matter!
