I love that he doesn't stop smiling. It's awesome.

it must be so strange living in complete silence and darkness

How do you teach a deaf blind person anything? incredible

God bless him and his pure heart

Some of the comments are a little unsettling to me as a disabled person. Please bear in mind, everyone, that disabled people are not miracles, we're people. And disabilities are not always bad. There is a strong culture within d/Deaf/HoH, Blind/Low Vision, and Deaf-Blind communities. They are no worse off-- they are just unfortunate enough to live in a world built for the sighted and hearing. It is not the disability that makes a person disabled, but the environment that we have created that excludes people who do not have the same abilities as the "average". There is nothing WRONG about disabled people and there is nothing to sugarcoat about the daily pain, struggles, and stigma. It sucks. But please don't cry over people with disabilities. Please don't turn it into dreaded "inspiration porn"! *It's a little awkward.* Thank you for your open hearts and strong interest in the lives of your fellow human beings. :)

It always fascinates me about how a born deaf and blind think. I mean he has not seen the world , not heard any descriptions about how the world actually is either. he cant know the language how we can learn. words have no pronounciation, letters have no shape or size. Think about it. He doesnot know the outside world even his own looks or sound. yet having same level of intellegence and consiousness like any other abled person. It is just his thoughts are un affected by the outworld. May be he questions.himself "who am I" yet having no so called languistic thought process in his mind. We may never know how they feel or think but i think.they hold much more probability of finding one's true nature.

Smart man. We take a lot of things for granted.

Agree. Education is for everybody. Thanks for uploading this video.

It is AMAZING how you and others can communicate with someone who is completely deaf blind. I have always wondered how people do communicate like this when someone is deaf blind. It is FASCINATING!!!

I love you Stephen, keep smiling!

I feel so sorry for him.. but at least he can taste pizzas..

beautiful, wonderful, and informative video! I'm studying and learning ASL in college right now, and it blows me away that he can tell what signs you are doing by just feeling your hand! thanks for sharing! If you don't mind me asking, ow do you know this man and how did you learn ASL?

Thank you for this video! I bet you have a great sense of humor-- always smiling.

As long as you can feel you can still “see” the world that you can touch And because he can feel he can still do sign language even though he absolutely can’t see what signs he is doing It’s amazing how even at the hardest situation you can still communicate with others

Kristy this was an amazingly done interview. It's a very important and curious topic, so I believe you should explore it further. You have just gained one more subscriber. Congratulations

I find this so fascinating!

OMG it's amazing that technologies can make deaf-blind people lead a normal & common life just like us!

I can’t wait to see his reaction once he goes to heaven 💕

He's is amazing!

I'm crying while watching this.

What a fascinating video, very insightful.

Jesus christ, being deaf and blind You’re basically staring at death, nothing around to hear A silent, and nightmarish world

I'm in tears😭😭

From comments it's lovely to see people cannot differentiate between those who have been born blind deaf and who later life became blind deaf.. it's a big difference and people most often get nervous and irrational when trying to imagine that.. most of the comments here are just like that

Besides how informative this video just by his side, his character is very strong and I wish I knew how to communicate with him one to one because i know we would have a blast.

makes one count one’s blessings...

Poor man...

If someone was born completely deaf and blind able to communicate .. Then maybe one day we will be able to communicate with animal .

Please correct me if I'm wrong, I remember watching documentary on Helen Keller. I believe she used to touch the mouths of individuals and used sign language to communicate and understand what they were saying. I maybe wrong. Since, viewing this informative video, I have learned that old method of deafblind communication is no longer relevant. In addition, I did not know there were such amazing devices in technology to assist our fellow disabled brothers and sisters. That is wonderful. Please forgive my ignorance, I have been truly educated today. Thank you and may the good Lord continue to bless you.

Omg he is so smart ! ✨

That is the scatters thing ever. Right next to being burryd alive

Have any one heard of Hellen Keller?

Makes me so sad.

Australian polymer notes are being released with braille on them so that the blinde can read what they are. It's a shame the US won't

This is very sad just imagine u cant see nothing or hear

People are so damn gullible. Watch at 1:02. As he's holding her right hand, all she does is lightly tap his hand 3 times. We are to believe three taps means, " What is your favorite technology?". Are you kidding me?

imagine if he was in a fight with someone, he would thing that all the punches and kicks are some kind of language bruh

Poor poor man...

In Canada we have braille on our money.

We are all born deaf and blind to God. That's horrible feeling.

It's so stupid that all the bills in the U.S. have the same size and the same colour too. Who'd think of that? It makes so much sense to make the larger bills a little larger.

how does that money clip thing work?

Imagine being a deaf, blind, and mute person who has lost sense of smell, taste and touch.

can yall make the subtitles not yellow, or have a contrasting background next time cause geez it's rough to see as a Deafblind person myself

I was sitting on the toilet when I wandered about this and KZfaq provided me, but I sure feel bad for him!

Remarkable

I like this dude

People who are both deaf and blind should not be able to see them

If someone is deaf and blind from birth, can they learn anything?

Don't worry they will be a new technology where you can see and hear again

This must be so hard it's like sleeping but you are awake

My signing isn't that great, is he using PSE or ASL to sign? Also I've never seen contact signing before!!! So cool!!!

Hello Kristy Smith, I would like to ask u a question, if u don't mind please answer me. Is all deaf blind people possible to speak like Helen Keller? Is Stephen possible to speak?

Can they speak though, honestly Curious

nice video first time i see a person speaking the blind deaf lenguage but is this lenguage the same in every country , i mean does it matters if i learn the "spanish one"

How did he learn it

what would he do if he had no hands?

I am so lucky i was born perfectly normal but i always ask to my self, what is it like to become deaf and blind ? I feel like i wanna die 😧

No hate But being dead and blind is no life! Soo big Respekt 4 them people.

How did he learn sign language

Poor man :(

OH NO IVE GONE DEAF

Like what do you all day if your blind and def.. just take me out.. I could do one or the other.. but literally no stimulation.. fuck that.

Would you rather be deaf or blind? I would be deaf thought of not being able to see anything is super scary to me

Gang signs 🤨🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪

This video was very silent

RIP Headphone users.

Poor guy

💔💔

How the fuck did he Learn to even communicate

How does he know what amount to pay in the store?

He should really stop throwing gang signs.

This is bullsh*t. If he is blind and deaf how is he even be able to communicate?

Why he can’t speak,he is speechless or something?I thought he can’t see and he can’t hear but he can talk.Whatever

1 like = 1 prayer

My concern when a man late 30 s from no accident but over slow period of time that sensory can not be reversed. He is sever blind, deaf, mute, part paralysed. and no sensation in fingers. He as all is typing by the support worker lipreading and just the right part of palm is alphabet. We have no communication in technology and he said the life what I was until now a man trapped in a tomb. What help he as asked for is not available but surely if a satellite millions a miles away send pictures back and report gravity and conditions. A man on earth as less that technology millions a miles away that will never come back. That man is me and supported by my lipreader. And yet no help can be given fed by liquidised food.

Me: hello Him: . . . Me: hello Him: Him: . Me: hello? Sir. . . Him:

Damn, being blind and deaf must feel so lonely and complicated. But seriously, if someone is born blind and deaf how can they learn anything? Or are they automatically put in the disabled category, hence they'll never really know the definition of anything and what goes on around them...that's so sad hahah.

He has no idea what the world is like around him

can't hear shit

Julia, Sign Language is different in every language. Just as English, Spanish, French, etc are all different.
