  • Folks, this is it... I finally got prescribed Vyvanse after six months of just fucking around with Wellbutrin! I'm super excited and eager to see what happens!

    But that's not what I'm here for right now. I've been playing with a story in my head for a very long time and I really want to start writing it. The thing is, the way I envision one of the characters includes the fact that she's hard of hearing. I want to be as respectful as possible of such a person's life experience and I want to research what everyday life is like for someone with impaired hearing. Can you folks suggest any sources for me to do some reading up on the topic? Anyone who talks about their life without hearing? Any interesting stories with a deaf/hard of hearing main character?
