What is Audism? Part I: Attitudes, Beliefs and Behaviours

This vlog explains the attitudes, beliefs and behaviours of audism, and shows how audism is a valid term. These questions were posed to me by one of my commenters in response to my last v/blog post. I had planned to do part 2 of that post, but these questions made me realize the importance of delving deeper into what audism is, despite having given the CHS definition for it. This vlog is embedded into my own website, www.deafcanadian.com. The English version of this vlog contents can be found there.

I think music has nothing to do with it. Avg. Deaf people has wider periphereal vision and higher spatial skill, so s/he sees better and can react and understands quicker to what s/he sees. I've ride with Deaf drivers. Most of them talked and watched my talking while they were driving. I treated some of hearing drivers as if they were Deaf drivers, they almost crashed and blamed me for "interrupting" them while they didn't know they had these low skills. I learned not to interrupt them.
