No she wasn't. She became blind and deaf at 19 months due to illness. http://www.rnib.org.uk/wesupply/fctsheet/keller.htm Oct 02 01, 4:00 PM

I don't understand Alex, you open your sentence with 'nice going crackers, but' as if you disagree with her. You then proceed to agree with her. So which is it? BTW, she became deaf and blind at 19 months from an illness that gave her a high fever that went away as mysteriously as it appeared. There has been a lot of speculation over the years, but it is officially considered undiagnosed. My source is the research I did when creating a quiz about her. Most information came from a book called Helen and Teacher: The Story of Helen Keller and Anne Sullivan Macy. A very comprehensive biography written by Pulitzer prize winning author Joseph P. Lash.

Besdies Milton and Helen Keller, which authors were blind? Who was the first deaf and blind person to receive a college degree? How do blind and deaf people in the UK know that it is safe to cross at a pedestrian crossing without any animal or human intervention? If someone can't see, they're blind, and if someone can't hear, they're deaf, so what do you call people who can't smell?
