Some of you may know, ‘Toy Like Me’ are a group of parents who have children with disabilities and they are campaigning for the Toy Industry to make toys with disabilities! How brilliant is this?
The NHS makes me feel like a drain on resources: REBLOG
I posted this on Facebook and some of the comments I got made me realise how outrageous this service that the audiologist gave.
“That audiologist was cruel and unprofessional and I would report him”

Going to miss lunchtimes out here!
Subtitle Problems!
Being deaf has restrictions on our social lives! I can’t tell you how many times my friends have said “let’s go to see the new film at the cinema”… I can’t, as they never have enough subtitled showings!
