Interesting ponder actually. I'm not sure I could effectively communicate what braille even is to a newly deaf and blind person.

I know several Deaf / Blind individuals.

I have given a ride home to a Deaf / Blind lady from Lafayette to Baton Rouge and she knew it was her exit simply by the way the road felt.

Your obvious low bar of what a human can accomplish with hearing and sight has clouded your judgment pal. You can't imagine a world where you can't write one book would be the same world where a person who can't hear or see could write 12.

Because she was a woman.

Man the OP is under attack.

Why do people get so upset when someone questions the narrative?

We have a country full of able bodied people that don't know the difference between there/their/they're and he gets attacked for simply questioning how a deaf and blind person could graduate college and author 12 books.

You understand the basics of not being able to see and hear, but not the Experience

You don’t realize that your other senses adapt and change to make up for the loss.

You are a small brained individual, who can only see what is right in front of him and hear what is directly told to him.

Hellen Keller made a terrible call last night for Dak to run it with 14 seconds and no timeouts

She CAN drive a car. One hand on the wheel, one hand on the road.

So all this and a bunch of insults just to say that her lack of auditory and visual abilities gave way to a better sense of smell and taste?

I’ve accomplished enough. You wouldn’t know that because you don’t know me.

All this anger for a simple question

There is speculation from several historians that all of Helen Keller’s writings and accomplishments were really the doings of Anne Sullivan, her teacher. There are videos on YouTube of Helen Keller speaking. It’s a broken, almost unintelligible locution, and an interpreter is required.

There’s definitely enough going on here for someone to be skeptical.
