audism 

A term typically used to describe physical, cultural and linguistic discrimination against deaf or hard of hearing people.

Audism applies to both the hearing and Deaf communities.

Examples of audism would be enying the Deaf individual a position based on his/her hearing and/or linguistic capacity.

Another example of audism would be refusing to provide an interpreter citing financial hardship when the ADA cites accessibility to interpreting services is a civil right.

Audism 

Discrimination, prejudice, bias and other negative manifestations toward the deaf.

If you were suddenly to become D/deaf overnight, you would experience audism and would be treated differently in so many ways... especially in career fields (e.g. On March 2, 2006, a federal jury found in favor of the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) in its employment discrimination lawsuit against Federal Express Corporation (FedEx) for violating the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. EEOC had charged FedEx with failing to provide a reasonable accommodation to Ronald Lockhart, a deaf employee who worked as a package handler at the company's Baltimore Ramp. The suit charged Federal Express with violating the ADA when it failed to provide reasonable accommodations to Lockhart in the form of American Sign Language interpreters, despite his repeated requests. The jury found FedEx liable for punitive damages in the amount of $100,000 for its knowing failure to accommodate Lockhart as well as compensatory damages of $8,000 for the loss of the accommodation itself. In January 2008, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit affirmed the jury’s award.)

Jerry: Did you hear about Dan?
Tom: No. What about him?

Jerry: He stayed in his room all spring break and did nothing but jerk off to porn. He didn’t even eat or leave his room to use the bathroom, he just reconsumed his jizz and shit for nutrients.
Tom: Oh god! what happened? Is he okay?
Jerry: He lost almost half of his body weight and his mom took him to a behavioral therapist. They diagnosed him with aujism.
Tom: What the fuck is aujism?

Jerry: It’s just the official medical diagnosis for low functioning coomer brain.
