so sos so tired of hearing "go nonverbal/nonspeaking" or "become nonverbal/nonspeaking from intense emotion/stress" for speech loss episode!

so so so tired of people claiming gatekeep "nonverbal" or "nonspeaking" and is actually okay to use!

so so so tired of hearing fully speaking people or people who only have infrequent speech loss episode and no other impairment say "I'm semiverbal I'm nonverbal I'm nonspeaking"!

so tired of abled people deciding they fit in with us because they get too tired and dont feel like talking sometimes! not the same thing!

so so so tired of hearing "majority verbal" "choice verbal" "demiverbal" you might have speech loss episode but that do not mean need special identify label to describe speech loss episode. you not the same as us!

semiverbal not the same as nonverbal/nonspeaking! we still can't fully understand what nonverbal/nonspeaking people go through!!

please stop!!!

Wednesday was my first ever Speech Therapy appointment with a new company.

I have also been with them for ABA therapy as well, so i have a kind of a feel around how they operate and such. I was actually in an ABA session before i left early for the appointment, which impressively was in a mall. (More on this later)

Since this was my very first appointment, speech related, with them, the speech pathologist i was assigned to had to assess me for my speech amongst other things like my case history. She asked both me and my mom a couple of questions, then we finally got down to the actual assessment part.

It was pretty much like the ones that i did do as a child, but it was more, clinical but also not only clinical stuff and cold and heartless. But there were some noticeable differences, this time she had an Ipad record me while i repeated certain words after her for a short while. I was kind of camera shy so i don't think i was using my "normal" voice, speech, language with her.

She explained about the iPad, saying it was there so she could watch my "speech patterns" so it could help her with the plan for my speech therapy, before she turned it on so she could record me. That was another thing that i have also noticed that was also different from the speech assessment i had when i was younger, so i was somewhat put off by it. The other thing i also noticed about the progress was that she had that iPad set up with an AAC app when i first entered the room, and she obliged when i asked about it.

Then, the actual visible/obvious part of this speech assessment was done, then we got to discussing her initial results and observations of my speech. She actually let loose that the ABA therapist i'm with a lot now was surprised that i was going to Speech since she could understand me easier, but that when we first met, i don't think she could understand me easily.

I mean, the speech therapist claimed that, the first appointment i had with her on this Wednesday night, she couldn't understand everything that i said but that she could still at least piece some words together because she also mentioned an issue with my "voice box" or, medical term, my larynx. She and i both noticed that my larynx wouldn't rumble or move around like hers did when i used certain letters in speech. That was the most surprising thing i got out of that appointment, and i am still processing and thinking about it today.

After the appointment, like an entire day afterwards, i used AI to help me process some of the information i found out for the first time, and to research about AAC usage for anyone with the larynx issues that i said i had. Then i decided to announce my results and to discuss them with mom, and she let go that she apparently already knew of this even before the speech appointment happened, then we got around to discussing AAC, to which she immediately replied you don't need AAC then i spent the whole talk afterwards convincing her.

It was quite an informative session, and i could tell that this company is better than the others i went to when it came to speech and ABA therapy.

I literally couldn't sleep the night after, as it a lot of information right before it was bedtime, mind you it was also very new information to me.

What is demiverbal? I not understand. And I want to. My team say I am nonverbal. Is it similar to that?

- Demiverbal – Can reliably speak most of the day, most days of the week, but has mild to moderate difficulty speaking anywhere from slightly to half of the time.

I have reblogged a post explaining verbal terms! Hope this helps!

[thecouncil-aac]

Booo

Current unable speak right

Thoughts-speak scrambled

At family house, so inconvenient

Family not know Council use AAC

And even if did, all Council AAC so far not enough for proper communicate - only at step where partner and best friend able proper communicate because know Council so well

So tired upset

Mum knows to small degree, Alesc tell her before

But not all

And not mental place to explain clear what happening, what need

just had a very transparent reminder that practice does create improvement. my sister asked me to make a sign language guide for my 5yo nephew's schoolteachers. and maybe i coulda printed a buncha shit out, but my nephew is 5 and gives some of his signs a personal flair that the internet diagrams just doesn't capture. so i spent a whole day hand-drawing his most commonly used signs, and buddy, if you've ever struggled to draw hands, you can imagine the difficulty there is in drawing hands signing shit. point is, though, i was given the opportunity to mark the clear different in the quality of my hand-drawing skills from the first sign card to the last.

so yeah if you want to rapidly improve your hand-drawing skills, try to hand-draw a sign language guide using pictures of your own hands forming the signs, and internet sign drawings that range from excellent to complete dog-shit (no shade tho I almost cried trying to draw the sign for "friends" that one's a real bitch.

aphelios using emojis to communicate rather than typing out words ;___; he finds it difficult to say exactly how he’s feeling, especially when so many people are watching the debut of their band. he’s a perfectionist to a fault and doesn’t like for there to be any room for miscommunication or for his words to be construed any other way. it’s much harder for him to put his own thoughts into words, whereas songwriting, his emotions flow freely. as always, though, he’s a bit of a meticulous soul and holds himself to an extremely high standard. his anxiety is something that he’s learning to manage but with so much riding on the success of their group, not just himself but everyone else’s careers that were revitalized by their joint efforts, he’s rather not put himself in a position that could cost the others. so emojis he stays with for the time being. alune likes how they look, anyways.

No dodgeball, please

I have verbal difficulties. Not a stutter, like Biden. I "lose my words," as I am supposed to say, to be nice, but I don't always say it like that because I lose my words. It takes extra effort for me to communicate the way people expect me to communicate, and when I can't, and I hear myself making more and more pauses and errors, it snowballs.

This, the way the media is covering this, is not fucking fair. Everyone trips over language sometimes, and people who have to work harder to talk will do it more. Period. Now, that can't have been all that was going on at the debate, but every last misstep is not another indication the man is going senile.

HOWEVER, the media blitz that Biden is spearheading to stave off rumours of senility would take a toll from anyone - let alone someone who has to work extra hard to talk. His campaign team are requiring him to talk, and talk, and fly somewhere, and talk some more, and then everyone combs over what he said wrong, and they report it or make fun of it or tell him he has to stop screwing up like that.

If this doesn't stop, and I don't see any indication it will, he is going to melt down again, BADLY, like at the debate. If you need extra energy to talk, and you don't have that energy because you've been talking constantly, you will not be able to talk anymore - until you have a long, stress-free break. That's just how it works, no matter what age you are. But I must assume that if you are 81, you might need a little more time.

If we're lucky, he'll break down on camera before he gets the nomination. If this really is the worst timeline, it'll be after. And all the donors and reporters and supporters who already flipped out and felt used and betrayed because they got blindsided will say, "Fuck this shit. I'm out." Their credibility is worth more than this election, they're all planning to be here for the next one.

I don't wish that on anyone, but simple honesty like, "Hey, I need to slow down" or, God forbid, "I need some accommodations" is not an option for the narrative Team Biden has chosen. The debate went badly, but whatever the reason, it's not important and it won't happen again. They don't seem to have any idea that they're making sure it WILL happen again.

Politically, I don't know how in the hell you come back from "Sometimes I can't communicate." I can't even manage it socially, but I am not out there trying to be a politician or saying I'm the only man who can beat Trump. I decided not to hold an entire country hostage to soothe my own ego - as one should. Nobody involved in this is showing any basic competence or treating human beings like living creatures who need care. They just want to win. A superhuman powerhouse would look super electable, wouldn't he?

I dunno. I'm not looking for an ubermensch, myself, but they're not interested in my vote. I don't want Apollo's dodgeball... I DO NOT WANT THE DODGEBALL. I want to be scrolling through my back posts years from now and go, "Ha-ha, how silly I was." But... I think they're gonna push him until he breaks. And then I dunno what's gonna happen.

Should I Get My Child Evaluated for Autism, ADHD, or a Learning Disorder, and Should I Talk to Them About it?

Some parents do not want to get their neurodivergent child evaluated for a diagnosis or they avoid talking to their child about the diagnosis because they don’t want to label, pathologize, or stigmatize their child. I appreciate this concern because diagnoses can be too focused on the negative, and a negative lens is stigmatizing. At the same time, acting hush-hush about a diagnosis is also stigmatizing. Therefore, I suggest getting your child evaluated and talking to them about it, but doing so in a non-stigmatizing way. On this blog I share non-stigmatizing ways to talk about diagnoses.

Thanks,

There is something strange and something satisfying about being back home after time spent away.

Strange in that it already seems so far removed from the mornings spent with all of us quietly in our own little corners or around the outdoor table, drinking coffee, reading, just being whilst still being together. So far removed from the lunches spent planning the remainder of the day, loud and communal and light hearted. So far removed from the walks through the forest, along the loch, or just exploring the garden. So far removed from the dinners each of us cooked, claiming the kitchen one night and serving the results to a ravenous, delighted crowd. So far removed from even the goodbyes, the 'I love you, you big weirdo' and the 'travel safe' and the 'make sure you take all the time you need to decompress when you get home' and the 'can't wait to see you again'.

And satisfying because it happened. For those few days we lived our lives together and got to share physically what we usually have to impart through a computer screen. Yes it was a short time, but it was no less valuable for it.

People doing that sort of thing make me super nervous to speck or type in a way that is ..i don't know the word I'm looking for but "easier" isn't it .. more natural? less brain power ? maybe. Most times its the way I'm actually talking in my mind and so I'm writing what I'm thinking without trying to use more brain power to correct it so I not always talk like that , with my actual voice I try not to talk like that at all but its more because its very embarrassing to me because of what I was taught about it being like lack of intelligence and etc so I try to force it (which obviously doesn't help especially because I'm semi verbal) .

making fun of ppl with disorganized speech or trouble articulating themself or lots of typos or anything else isn't funny actually
