I've been deaf since age seven, and I feel like hearing people are often uncomfortable to ask me questions in fear of offending me. So I'm starting a Q&A book to inform you guys about deaf culture and my personal experiences.
Feel free to comment questions for me!

Body language
a book about how to read people a field guide to human behavior. Just a reminder that everybody has their own body language and that a signal for 'yes' in one culture may mean 'no' in another; a gesture for 'good-bye' in one culture can be interpreted as 'come here' in another. (This could also be used for character development for your fictional books too, but this is mostly on how to read people.) (Also, I apologize for the inconsistency in some of the chapters. I have a memory of a goldfish and too lazy to edit.) Highest ranks: #2 on Human behavior #4 on Body language #194 on LearningComplete
The Silent Melody
The world is loud. There are those who make no sound. Billions of people on the planet, some make no sound, some hear no sounds, and some don't see what's making the sound. Humans take their voice for granted, they don't realize what it's like not to be able to say what you're thinking. Humans don't realize what it's like not to be able to listen to the world. They don't realize what it's like not to be able to look at the stars and see the beauty in the sky. I can see, I can hear, but what I can't do is speak for myself. My own silence is deafening. *Pardon my word choice.* I've never been able to speak, as soon as I was able I was sent to learn ASL (American Sign Language). I was then sent to regular public school and I love it, the sounds of the students talking. Being able to be a regular person, well, as close to regular as I can be without talking. My name is Rosalyn, I've never breathed a word. Silence is easy when all you can give are ASL signs and not many people understand them. I'm just like everyone else. I have a celebrity crush. I have a favorite book (It's Lock and Key by Sarah Dessen). I have a favorite color (It's a silvery blue). I have a story to tell just like you. I get made fun of because I can't speak. People yell at me thinking that because I'm mute I'm also deaf. This is my silent melody, the song of my soul.Complete

This is an ask book where you can comment different question/challenges to me, the lovely little Italian Death Angel. Send me questions on anything you would like to know; I'll do my best to answer them. (Please refrain from super sexual anything because I am a fifteen year old virgin gay boy in his first ever relationship.)
