Siri went with her dad this morning to the horse riding and then went to office and playing table tennis with him now. #mynameissiri #letterboardcommunication #autismawareness #s2c #rpm #love #siri #RapidPromptingMethod #autism #tabletennis #spellingtocommunicate #autismacceptance (at San Francisco, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoI-k1PvaNx/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Latest entry from self-advocate and micro blogger Graciela L, who spells to communicate, on her forum “Dare to Listen.” G and her mother Susie partnered with Growing Kids Therapy Center in 2013 to build what is now the single largest community of spellers in the United States; in the city of #Atlanta #Georgia.

NEWSFLASH: Saying I'm well adjusted, or high functioning is as much a complement as saying I'm smart or pretty for a black woman 😏 #ActuallyAutistic #BGM #HerStory #AspieSecrets #Repost @nigh.functioning.autism with @repostsaveapp ・・・ Listen to nonspeaking Autistics... No human is low-functioning and no one certainly thinks that about themselves and if they do, it is because they were told or overheard that . [Image text: "Wouldn't it suck to be called low functioning? Can you imagine overhearing people talking about you and actually calling you, "low functioning"? How would that make you feel? If kids did this to an NT [neurotypical] child in school, it would be called bullying, but it is an "accepted" practice in the autism community. Here is the deal... So far, 100% of the kids I met who did not have speech have developed communication. Statistics already suggests that 70% of Autistic kids learn to communicate and with technology, the numbers keep growing. Do you know what they always say? "I understood everything"] . [2- Functioning Labels: something invented by "experts" in order to grade us. It says that some of us should be pitied, that we are better off being segregated and treated like children since we don't have much to offer. We are also the ones who are disproportionately abused and tortured under the guise of treatment. The grading of Autistics also says that some of us can be successful, we are "almost normal" therefore we should be included and accepted. We are to be celebrated. But we should keep our disabilities invisible. We should not look so "abnormal". What this invented functioning grading ignores is that anyone of us can bounce along the spectrum at any given moment"] . #NonspeakingDoesNotEqualNonthinking #PresumeCompetence #assumeCompetence #autismacceptance#autismawareness #nonverbalautism #nonverbal #severeautism #slp #typetotalk #loveneedsnowords #differentNotLess#inclusion #ig_autism #spectrum_inspired #neurodiversity #lowfunctioning #lowfunctioningautism #autismwarrior #rapidpromptingmethod #communicationisahumanright #actuallyautistic #autismlove #autisticadults #autisticadult #autismmom #autismdad #blackautism https://www.instagram.com/p/B0Y_47xJClD/?igshid=105pfaczzl9th

My heart sank into my stomach when I saw Siri convey this during her letter board communication (RPM Rapid Prompting Method) session today. “My life was very silent. I had no way to show how much I wanted to go to normal school. I was so not happy for so many years. Everyone thought that I am stupid.” ~ Siri Even though I feel guilty for not knowing that my child had gone through so much agony, I am happy that we are able to know so much about her past now. I talk with her like I would with my sons. I high light all her strengths and also talk about her weaknesses as I am her mom and I want her to be successful in all she does. I even tell her to forgive me for talking about her challenges but then I give her ideas to overcome them. I already see her implementing some of them. I can never say enough times about how privileged I am to be her mom. #mynameissiri #autismawareness #love #siri #letterboardcommunication #autism #RPM #rapidpromptingmethod #brightfuture #skyisthelimit (at Pleasanton, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cns8PArLLDc/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

My reading is bad, comprehension is not there most of the time, I am not confident, not good in pronunciation; just a short list of many negatives about myself. I often think what Siri must be thinking about my inefficiencies. In-spite of all I know for sure she loves me and cares for me a lot 🤗. I am proud of myself, please don’t get me wrong. Last week we were reading about USA presidents and I asked Siri, do you know how President JFK died? Point to Y if ‘yes’ and N for ‘no’. She poked Y. When I asked her to tell me how? she poked “HE WAS ASSASSINATED.” The lesson didn’t mention JFK yet. I was not only surprised but equally excited to know that I could do an open ended question with my Siri. The following day we were reading about Florida. Greedy me wanted to ask some more open ended questions. I asked her if she knows about a relative we have in Florida, Y for ‘yes’ and N for ‘no’. Yup! she chose Y and I started asking her (aunty/pinni) name, her husband’s (uncle/babai) name and cousin’s too. Four names and then I got even more inquisitive, asked about another one in NJ (aunty/pinni), her husband’s (uncle/babai) name and 3 cousins names. This mom got even more greedier and asked about another one in Los Angeles (peddamma), uncle (pedananna) and three cousins. WOW! she knew them all. How would I know that she knew everything all the time and I didn’t know that she knew it all. When I was surprised she looked at me like “didn’t you know that I do?.” No I didn’t nanalu. But it’s better late than never. I am so grateful for 2022 more than any other years. That’s the year Siri started communicating with us. I have no idea what I would write at the end of this year 2023 about Siri’s progress but I know for sure it’s going to be way above our expectations, wishes or prayers. #mynameissiri #autism #siri #love #communicationwithletterboard #autismawareness #RapidPromptingMethod #spellingtocommunicate #designsbysiri (at San Francisco, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnNQ5yayLN1/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

One of Siri’s New Year’s resolution is to spell with mom. I am very happy to say that we have spelled together last week, four days up to 30mts each session. This was her feedback with one of her coaches (Rapid Prompting Method) on Saturday. What can I say other than I can die and go to heaven 🫢. This mom on cloud 9. Excited for our journey together 💖💖 #mynameissiri #RapidPromptingMethod (at San Francisco, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnLFWePPF16/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Like the saying goes… "A picture is worth a thousand words.” 2019 & 2023 what a difference? Siri, you work very hard at each and every opportunity you are presented with rajammalu. Every mile I drive for you and every minute I spend to bring opportunities for you never goes to waste but you give more than expected results. You never stop to amaze me nor your coaches kannalu. Your focus, hardwork, intelligence, endurance and most of all your humbleness pushes me to do more than what I am capable of doing. I wear you as a badge of honor for ever. Words can’t express how privileged I feel to be called as your mom nana na chilakamma. May 2023 be the best year not only for you but all special needs individuals everywhere. #nothingbutgodsgrace #mynameissiri #siri #love #communicationwithletterboard #RapidPromptingMethod #specialneeds #spellingtocommunicate #autismawareness #myfamily #autism #autismmom #talent https://www.instagram.com/p/CnC0Ud6PG_u/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

It’s been more than an hour continuously spelling but still she is so focused and enthusiastic about communicating. Last few days she has been sleeping during this time. #mynameissiri #rpm #RapidPromptingMethod #siri #love #enthusiasm #hardwork (at Pleasanton, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm1-qXMPqGj/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Today at her RPM (Rapid Prompting Method) session, a way of communicating with a letter board. We do believe in you kannalu, much more than we do about ourselves.
