An aha Moment

[The People]

I watched a show called Switched at Birth on Netflix for a while. definitely a show geared for teenagers but a few of the shows gave me food for thought.

I could never understand why the deaf community would get up in arms when the hearing community tried to force them into considering Cochlear Implants. Many view it as a slur, in real life this is also true. I worked with the wife of a deaf person who educated me on the subject from her husband's perspective. On the show someone explained that it is not always successful, involves playing with the brain, and most people find that they are caught between 2 worlds when they go for the implants.

It was the most well explained reason why deaf people are against them. Why they fight to remain within their own community. They function just fine in there. It is the people watching who want to "help" who have the issue.

DID is the same IMO. I have had people tell me that the I word is the only means of recovery for multiples. How would they know? They aren't multiples. They realize that, for many it is an impossibility and for many it is a threat to all we know. I think I will use this in my book.
