Okay, if someone is blind and deaf..like Helen Keller. What would their thoughts be like? Because most people now think in language or pictures..Would she think in.how she felt?
Comments?

I would imagine she just... thought. Like when you decide on something you don't really use words to phrase out what it is. It's just thought. Intuition also exists too, though on a lower level. It's hard to say.

Helen Keller knew English and understood it, along with almost every other person with a disability. If a person cannot comprehend a language initially, then their thought patterns are similar to those of a child's since there is no possibility to develop due to lack of communication.

Words can be replaced with symbols, sounds, hand gestures, etc. Words are essentially just symbols that represent the sounds coming out of our mouths and then the definitions we give them.

blind and deaf... what a nightmare...
her senses of smelling and feeling are probably well developed so maybe she thinks alot in that way

Hmm yeah...

Your mind has umm... I think it's called 'plasticity'. It's when you don't use a part of your mind for a sense, other sense begin using that extra space to process their stuff.
