First thoughts on @raymondluczak.com's compilation of #deaf writing on dinner table syndrome: #dinnertablesyndrome is often part of a bigger system of family dysfunction Audism is driven by control Learning #ASL is not enough There are a lot of amazing d/Deaf writers I need to read

As more of a potential perpetrator than victim of dinner table syndrome, I'm both excited and a little scared to dig in. But I'm happy @raymondluczak.com put together such a great array of #Deaf writers for this project—super important, especially for us parents of #deafkids. #dinnertablesyndrome
