I know of a hearing impaired kid who talks all day to people online because everyone has the same hearing impairment in teleconferencing; we cannot differentiate between two conversations at once. People are forced to take turns or get peer pressured to do so. Few do this in person.

Parents thought he was socially impaired. Turned out he was an organizer and leader among his peer group.
