The smartest person I know is Deaf. He’s one of those people who’s intellectually insatiable and who is constantly making and modding stuff. He runs a robotics, printing, and drone program at a university, teaches at camps, teaches college courses, and has decided to pursue his Ph.D. You know, just for something to do. He can wire a house, convert a car to biodiesel, and install a tankless water heater, among myriad other skills he possesses. Deafness is only a disability because most hearing people can’t sign.
