about communication

JaysWorld

sometimes I see posts asking about AAC.

I don’t like how many want proving can use communication device before giving a device. It don’t make understanding to me.

No one has to prove they can use their voice before they use it.

I grow up stuck inside myself not able to communicate. When I twenty I given a computer to communicate with but it didn’t help.

I never communicate before I didn’t understand words I needed to learn and understand and only picture understood.

I tried many devices and now found best one for me. I not be able if says prove using before give.

give AAC fastest can and teach to use. Nobody learn talk in silence nobody learn AAC without help.

Use to teach and help understand what means. All life I speaking all life only caring what tell voice. I not going voice.

Voice not only way voice not more important. Other ways speaking if you listen.

don’t wait get AAC as early you can.

Communication

JaysWorld

I have a fish. My fish is happy.
he can’t talk, he can’t say what he wants, but he still can communicate.
he swims around fast and goes up and down his tank.
he looks at you and shows he wants food.
my fish is saying a lot.
I have a dog, my dog can’t talk.
he moves his tail and shakes his body. He goes closer if he likes being touched. He goes down when he’s scared. He makes noises to communicate. My dog can’t use words but he is communicating all the time.
I have cats, they can’t speak. They run and jump and play. They make sounds and move their bodies. They rub and push you when they happy. They bite and scratch when they upset.
my cats don’t use words, my cats are communicating.
I have a lot of pets, they don’t speak but they are saying many things.
I am a person. I don’t speak. I say many things with my body and my sounds. I don’t use words but I am saying many many things.
you can listen to the pets, they don’t speak. You can listen to me, I don’t speak. We are all saying many things, they don’t need words to be said.
communicating is more, communicating has many many ways.
see our languages and you might see a whole new world.

autistics speak for me

JaysWorld

a lot parents say autistic adult not speak for their child because their child not speak not use toilet have bad meltdown and hurt themselves
I don’t like say personal things but I tired hear this things
I am autistic I am nonverbal I can’t use toilet I hurt myself everyday I cannot live with no help I need person with me and watching me all the time if I alone I hurt myself badly
when you say autistic don’t speak for your child because they don’t do this things you are saying I can’t exist
you are saying I have no rights you are cutting away my communication I am here I am like your child
autistics speak for me you need to shut up and listen
you need to hear when you told what doing is bad for us
because of people like you I was twenty-five before anyone give me any communication but I always was speaking my own way I scream I hurt myself I bite and growl I was saying something but no one listen to my language
I was hurt and made to be a puppet I do worse hurting
I have marks all time biting myself hitting myself
I never not be able live alone never be able not have help but I am not bad I can be worthwhile
you say adult autistic not speak for your child you are making things like before when I be hurt because trying make look like you accept who we are and celebrate us we are worth more than you know
autistics speak for me
