I am blind and hard-of-hearing, and pardon if this comes off as sounding blunt, but if anything it's probably because of ignorance.. I have experienced some internalised ableism by some blind people, such as excessive yelling, sounding angry, or otherwise making me feel as if it were my fault that I couldn't hear them the first time.
I also have an older brother who is profoundly deaf and blind since birth, but unlike I, he never developed oral language skills, so his behaviur is the only means of communication.
Look at post 16 in the thread entitled Blind and Sighted Mindsets, or something like that.
@Post 9, some people, due to English not being their native language (signing being their primary means of communication) they may not completely understand print or Braille. Other deaf-blind people may have additional intellectual and developmental disabilities that prevent them from learning Braille. This is why we need to better educate ourselves by learning and exposing ourselves to blind people with multiple disabilities.
