I never realized I go nonverbal until recently, and like when someone asks me something or tries to all to I get overwhelmed/overstimulated bc I can’t really talk and then I’m forced to actually talk and I hate it

When singlets think that a system can't have an alter that's non verbal/semi verbal as well as speaking alters:
It's me, I'm the non verbal alter.

Going nonverbal is weird cuz it’s like a switch turns off in my brain
Even when I’m alone sometimes I go nonverbal, and I know because I feel the switch go off

fellow autistic folks &/or ADHD folks &/or auDHD folks with sensory issues, & anyone else with sensory issues. y’all may relate & may feel validated by.
have been experiencing heightened sensitivity & sensory pain (sensory issues) *for a week or so now*. not going away with sleep like usually does. sticks around. makes brain fuzzy or mushy or hurting.
depression, also not going away with sleep (or meds (as much)) as usually does. makes body feel heavy and brain foggy.
have slept a lot past few days to no avail. still exhausted. not feeling better.
still overstimmed. “aggressive”/frustrated response every time any sensory is painful. trying to manage because have kitty and don't wanna upset her with reactivity to sensory pain.
went to therapy on Monday. therapist says “oh, you're in burnout.”
was supposed to work fast food job. liked job, very gender, team kinder than used to. but not able to function unless allowed music, & have to get official accommodation to allow. (currently battling with their HR/disability analyst but hopes not high), because too many overlapping sensory pains (audio (timers, sizzling grill, bubbling stovetop, etc.), burns, etc.).
was unemployed for 4 months before ^, so desperate need for money. but disability doesn't pay enough to live on, & probably will get told “not disabled enough”.
have to try to apply for food stamps, but have been forgetting to go to in person appt every time apply, because am in burnout (PTSD + tism burnout won't allow phone call), so gonna attempt to apply in person or attempt do interview same day. exhausted at thought of.
typed words failing. grammar failed. spoken words dead, even echoes.
stress building. anxiety boiling stomach acid. brain spinny.
i wish people took burnout more seriously. i also wish people took nonverbal / non-speaking & minimally verbal (situational mutism or minimal verbal autism or other i don't know) people seriously & believed when express (sign language, mouthed words, vague signals, or limited words) that *can't* use words (not don't want to, not disrespect, not ignoring, actually cannot).
¿feeling disabled by my own disabilities? a tragedy. never could've seen this coming. (/trying to lighten the mood; a lil sarcastic, a lil lighthearted)
also getting emotional flashbacks (yay complex PTSD) to invalidation and ableism from other points & people in life (especially DNA losers (“parents”)). making feel worse.
i wish didn't feel. that was gonna go somewhere but train of thought died & still kinda relate. i wish didn't have to feel like this, to say better.
if you relate, i see you & i hurt with you. & i hope it gets better/easier.

idk man. i just think itd be really cool if sign language classes were mandatory throughout primary school. yeah because it would make communication with deaf kids and autistic/nonverbal kids much easier. and those kids would be accessible to the others so they could make friends and have healthy relationships. yeah. and kids would eat that shit up man. like their own little secret language? they love that.
#ace writes#autism#nonverbal#deaf#deafawareness#sign language#no yeah i just think it would be good#btw I am a semi nonverbal autistic person that knows a couple of simple signs#but would like to pursue it further as a good method of communication for me#just so ya know :}

I’m Choice verbal ⭐️
So this is kinda random but I haven't seen a definition for "choice verbal" in an autistic context ANYWHERE, nor have I seen a list of all of the verbal labels for autistic people, so here's a list in order (imo) of least-most verbal. Also, this is speaking in general terms, so don't come at me saying "well in this context this verbal label can also mean..." because likely I know that already and I'm just trying to keep the definitions as all-encompassing as possible.
(Also a quick disclaimer: most autistic people can temporarily lose speech occasionally due to shutdowns or other reasons, regardless of their usual verbal status.)
Nonverbal- unable to speak at all, ever, or having extreme difficulties in doing so, therefore making AAC a more comfortable option in most cases.
Limited-verbal- using spoken language in limited settings and purposes
Semi-verbal- only being able to speak in specific circumstances OR showing moderate difficulty speaking most of the time; some use AAC & some don't.
Verbalflux- people who fluctuate between full-verbal, semi-verbal, & limited-verbal
Demiverbal-
- Can reliably speak most of the day for most days of the week
- Verbal shutdowns happen anywhere from a few times a week to a few times a month, possibly for no apparent reason
- May experience some level of difficulty with mouth words, anywhere between slight difficulty only a little of the time to half the time
Choice verbal- Having the full ablility to speak (with the exception of autistic shutdowns and the like), but choosing not to speak in uncomfortable and/or overwhelming situations due to significant overwhelm, lack of understanding social cues, or other reasons.
Full-verbal- Having the full ablility to speak (with the exception of autistic shutdowns and the like), and choosing to do so as much as they are comfortable. (The same as most neurotypical/allistic people.)
Hyperverbal- Having the full ability to speak (with the exception of autistic shutdowns and the like), and (wether by choice or on accident) speaking more often than verbal autistics/allistic people.
Feel free to tell me if I got anything wrong or if I missed anything! (Pls no hate, though, and use tone tags!)

here’s to disabled people who can’t speak/struggle to speak. wether it be a physical thing, mental thing, or both, it’s okay. you’re not any less a person for it.

Auctober 2024
Day 8: Non-speaking
A lot of autistic people don't speak, such as non-verbal or semi-verbal autistic people. Because speaking is a huge part of communication for so many people, they might not understand people who don't speak, but remember, don't hate what you don't understand.
I sometimes shut down and become essentially unable to speak in stressful situations. In cases where someone who doesn't speak is in a distressing situation, it can be really difficult to communicate what's wrong, which can make the situation even worse.
Non-speaking autistic people still have things to say, so listen to them in whatever way they choose to communicate. There are other ways to communicate, and it is possible to accommodate them. If you're an autistic person who doesn't speak (or anyone who doesn't speak for that matter), I hope you get the patience and support you deserve :)

Stop writing your nonverbal characters as “quiet”!!!!
Obviously if there is a bigger character reason for their quietness, not an issue
But if your sole reason for them being such is that they don’t speak please reconsider why you think that way!
Most of us who don’t use verbal communication as a main form communication (or are more comfortable being nonverbal) are not quiet! If anything we are the loudest people you’ll know!
It’s all about balance! If you have a character who doesn’t speak, evaluate the way they interact with their world!
Do they use sign language? Are there other people in their life who know sign language, and are able to engage with them?
Do they use a audio device like an aac?
If they had to get the attention of one person across the room in a noisy space, how would they do it?
Like every character you write, they should be 3d!! Just because they have something unconventional in their livelihood, does not negate this fact!
#yapping#writing#writeblr#text#nonverbal#it just makes me so sad to see all nonverbal characters lumped as one stereotype#there’s so much fun you can have here with linguistics and communication!!#this goes so much farther than just non or semi verbal characters but I’m sticking to my wheelhouse#please add more#i love writing

Hiii I have a question
I read that the term "nonverbal" should only be used for completely nonverbal autistic people, not for someone experiencing speech loss
Do you know if this applies to semi verbal autistic people, and could you think of any alternative terms to use in that case?
Thank you so much
Hi there,
This is a very difficult question to answer as I am not nonverbal or semi verbal. As language wise, I think it’s okay to use. Especially when you’re describing someone (if that makes sense).
I can’t see how it would be offensive and negative.
To my nonverbal and semi verbal friends, how do you feel about this? I feel like it’s something I cannot say.

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!!!

Kobra tries so hard to be like other ‘joys. He really does, but his sorts of rebellions never seem to match theirs. Killjoys shout because BL/ind forced them to whisper. Kobra is silent because BL/ind forced him to speak.
