Hello! It looks from your pictures that you have a cochlear implant, and you mention that you do not use sign language. Have you had any negative experiences with the deaf community as a result of this? My mother is a teacher of the deaf and hard of hearing, and it always would baffle me when she would mention babies not getting implants/surgeries to fix their hearing because of encouragement from the deaf community that being deaf is not a handicap.
Part Two: What superpower would you have if you fell into a vat of toxic waste?
