From my limited interactions with this community and from what I've heard from those more acquainted;
It's the fault of the community itself.
Oh for sure, the community is to blame for many of their ills, it is a toxic victim-based culture for sure.
But I don't think that explains what happens at age 10, it can't explain how when 90% of deaf kids are to hearing parents, they have poor as fuck literacy, the few deaf kids with deaf parents do quite a bit better.
