Maybe it's because I was raised in the Hearing world, treated as an equal. I do admit communication is always an issue but I was never treated any special...My HS Baseball + Football coaches never treated me any different...they yelled the same
I'm personally sick and tired of when people play that card. They will get an "eyeful" from me
then take that left turn into First Class as they sit in Economy.
