Hi there
In many ways, I agree with you about Deaf and hearing worlds.
Only one thing I strongly disagree with you is "we know our limit".
I would say " we know our difference".
Just my feedback for you.

What does ASLAN stand for? I am thinking like Narnia's Lion name ASLAN.
Hi I enjoyed your Vlogs as always. You have provided a insightful thoughts.
Aslan has better relationship with hearing people than non Aslan.
Maybe, depends.
Some Aslans dont like hearing people and mistrust hearing people and would create problem with hearing people. For example, they can be real rude or mean to hearing people by signing directly at hearing people to get their point across.
I am NOT talking about ALL ASLans, no no.
I am referrring to a FEW of ASLans who are very resentful or mistrust hearing people. I once dated a deaf guy, he referred hearing people are no good and deaf people are far better than hearing people blah blah and felt hearing people are taking advantage of deaf people. He refused to leave a tip to hearing waitress at resturant. This waiteress was very nice and accommodating to our needs. But, he just rejected this waiteress, saying this waiteress makes alot of money collecting tips and deaf people suffer not making money blah blah.
See my point here?
Some Aslans with hearing families usually are strained to the point they rejected their hearing families and adopted deaf friends as their own families.
I am one of them who rejected my hearing family because they failed to include me. I ask what are you talking about, or what is so funny? All I get from them, wait, I'll tell you later, or worse, I forgot.
Worse, when my father died. Everyone was taking a toast my oldest brother was giving speech to say goodbye to Dad in front of my mom. I implore my brother and sister to help me what my oldest brother was saying. They ignored me and listened to him. My sister-in-law saw and felt bad and tried to explain to me what my brother was saying. I was not able to catch everything therefore, I felt rejected by them.
So, I went into deaf world and adopted deaf friends as my family whom I celebrate life's milestones such as birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, weddings, holidays etc. When I die, my estate will go to my deaf friends.
It is sad because they never visited me, never calls me. I visited them, I called them, I send emails to them. They claimed to be "too busy" See.
My family missed me yes, I go see them WHEN I feel like. Each time I go there, I come home extremely depressed and took me days to recover.
Just want to share with you my thoughts that there are SOME ASLANs who have strained relationship with hearing people especailly their own hearing family.
But, me myself personally, I do get along with hearing people out there sure. I have many hearing friends who accepted my deafness and are willing to learn ASL so I am blessed to have hearing friends.
Shame on families of deaf children for not accepting their own deaf family member!

Deb M's comment about family not including their Deaf members really hits home.
There are hundreds of thousands of people like this who were raised in hearing families but who do not feel included because of the communication gap.
Many of them can lipread and speak, but the fact of being deaf, even mildly deaf, still throws an obstacle into family interaction. Many hearing families don't have awareness of this, or if they do, find it too much of a problem trying to bridge communication in family gatherings.
This is a tragedy, because these families are loving and concerned, but not able to come together. The simple act of learning some sign by the family goes a long way toward improving this situation.
Hey there,
Nice to see you once again.
Right or wrong? None of 'em.
I don't have a problem saying I am DEAF. Being blunt works well for me.
Later dude..
