In the immediate aftermath of her illness, Helen communicated with crude signs and body language. However, sometimes she could not understand anyone and people around her failed to gauge what she said; she was left with no method of interacting with her surroundings. This made the young Helen angry and she had fits of temper.
The loss of her sight and hearing greatly complicated the process of learning to speak for the young Helen. It was enormously difficult for her to communicate when she wanted to express herself to the outside world. Helen was unable to express her feelings or needs through words because she had not yet learned how to talk; she could not point to words or symbols because she could not see them. The result was that she was isolated in frustration and inability to communicate effectively. She states that the few signs she used became less and less adequate and her failures were invariably followed by outbursts of passion.

Answer :
Helen had realized that she was different from others. She noticed people not using gestures while speaking. It made her conscious. She wanted to express herself. She used signs to express herself and learnt some signs. The few signs that she was using were not adequate enough to communicate with others.
She wanted to participate in conversation actively but could not cope up with others. Her failures to communicate frustrated her. It led to the outbursts of passion, her spirit was broken and she would often break down in tears and physical exhaustion. Being unable to communicate, her outburst became more frequent. She started misbehaving with Maratha and on her nurse.
She was a sensitive girl and wanted comfort from anyone around her. Whenever she found her mother around, she sought comfort in her and crept into her arms. Sometimes her mother too was deeply grieved.
