#speech impaired

[weirdo-catkid]

Just feeling angry that AAC apps are a fortune to buy and subscribe to. Why is communication locked behind a pay wall? I hate it here. I hope i will be able to get one from school for free, because i hate having to ask my parents for these things.

Hey there! Are there certain aspects or placements in your birth chart (natal) that make you stutter or have speech impediments?

Hmm well to start, I would consider Mercury-Neptune aspects. This could manifest as difficulty in expressing oneself clearly. Additionally, a lack of air element in a natal chart may indicate reduced natural fluency in communication as well.

More Placements/Aspects to Consider:

3H Chiron: This placement indicates wounds related to communication and expression, which can lead to feelings of inadequacy when speaking.

Mercury in Pisces: Individuals with this placement could struggle with articulating their thoughts clearly, as their communication style can appear uncanny or mystical.

10H Mercury: I have this placement, which creates pressure for me to communicate effectively in public settings. But this can manifest as struggles with speaking, which makes me prefer writing as my primary form of expression.

In addition, individuals with Mercury in the 10H may also experience shyness, particularly if they have been judged for their outspoken nature. They could feel like their words carry significant weight, which can further contribute to communication challenges.

Saturn-Mercury Aspects: This aspect can promote a sense of seriousness or self-doubt around communication, making individuals with this placement feel burdened by their words and overall communication style.

Mercury in the 1H: This placement can indicate a strong focus on communication and self-expression, but if negatively aspected, it could manifest as anxiety in speaking situations.

Mercury in the 12H: Individuals with this placement could struggle with articulating their ideas clearly, as their innermost thoughts can be clouded and difficult to access. This might result in hesitation or confusion when speaking.

Moon-Mercury Aspects: Individuals with this aspect might struggle with emotional sensitivity linked to self-expression, which can lead to hesitation or fear of judgment when speaking.

Mercury Retrograde in a Natal Chart: Individuals with this placement may have a more introspective communication style, and they can also experience learning difficulties and struggles in expressing themselves, which can lead to challenges in articulating their thoughts clearly.

This is all I got for now. I hope I answered your question and it provided you clarity.

My hare-brained theory is that Sean is going to die due to his heart issues, excessive drinking, etc but thanks to Laszlo now having a grasp on how to reanimate the dead...well, you get the idea

Help me buy my aac device

Hello, a simple introduction. My name is Amy n I’m semiverbal with severe speech impairments. For the past few months, I’ve experienced verbal shutdowns that will last a few weeks-months, and then when my verbal speech is back I’m unintelligible. I can speak but no one can understand me,, this doesn’t include when my verbal speech is understandable,, but people still don’t understand due to me having a severe speech impairment.

Ive gone about this whole year not being able to communicate important health issues because I simply can’t talk. I’m over it and need serious doctor help but can’t talk to doctor or family.

Close to a year ago I started my first go fund me. For the aac device. And I’m super thankful for all y’all’s help,, but my needs changed and the final price switched from $200 to almost $700. That price would cover the tablet, case and aac app.

My school finally agreed to pay for the aac app,, but had very strict requirements. It had to be at least a gen 9 iPad and 256 GB (which we are working to change because that’s makes the tablet cost more). I’m still required to pay for the iPad + casing before they will buy my app,, BUT they will be covering it under my iep (and they can’t take it away if I have to switch or leave their school system!!)

Although my family understands how important this is,, they cannnot afford $400 for an iPad since we have to move and we have to do so very very soon. Any help is appreciated from donating to just sharing around. Since I saved the money from the last go fund me,, I already have $152/$400 meaning I only need $248!!

Any help is seriously appreciated. I know many are struggling with money right now, but sharing around is more than enough help.

How to donate

$152/$400

I wish people wouldn’t laugh at my words that I have difficulty with, how I jumble up my words, and so forth.

Looking back, man I got laughed at so many times

Hi guys! This post is not related to arts, but I will be very grateful to you for sharing it.🌸

This is a survey for my university's research. I study the problems of disabled people in tourism and recreation. This survey is anonymous.

The statistics collected in the surveys will be used for my university project.

I will be very grateful to everyone who completes the survey and sends it to their family members or friends✨️

The more people complete the survey, the more detailed statistics i will get, so it is important to spread it as much as possible.

I do wish that having a stutter was seen more as a disability by not stuttering people, struggling to speak is a HUGE impediment to a lot of things and makes certain hobbies or careers a lot harder. As well as having a stammer being seen as an acceptable target ridicule and a sign of stupidity, even if you like me had to do special speech classes as a child to try and make the stammer less noticeable and my words more legible. Things like voice acting, singing, video essays, or just anything that requires speaking have a much higher bar of entry to me, and it sucks that I have to remind myself that it is a speech impediment and a disability because no one sees it as one even though my life would be objectively easier without it. Include people who stutter in your disability advocation! Don’t make fun of people for it or use it as a way to code someone as stupid or insane!

The Oldtown trio and their senses. (this came to me at 3am)

Sasha Wire has always been hearing impaired, she learned sign language until her parents could get enough money to buy hearing aids.

Mick Mercury has always had a speech impediment, ever since he could talk, there were always words and sounds that the just couldn't pronounce. His dad never had enough money to get him as speech therapist.

Juno Steel has always had great eyesight. He won ever sharpshooting contest in Oldtown. He was the quickest and most aware with his senses.

Sasha got surgery on her ears once she joined Dark Matters. Director W had to be the best, and have no flaws. She threw away Sasha Wire, and threw away her old hearing aids. Sasha Wire was gone now. Only the new and approved Director W was left.

Mick started going to speech therapy after his writing career took off. He was quite sure why, but he felt like he should. New career, new house, new you and all that. Mick Mercury was new now.

Juno lost his eye after one too many life risking jobs. He got a new one, a new eye that was going to help him do good again. The eye turned on him and so did the person he was trying to relay on. He got the eye removed, after finally, finally learning to live, not just survive. He was living life. And the life that Juno Steel choose was definitely new.

I’ve noticed that in the drama group I’m in a lot of the time the improv characters people make up are just imitations of people with disabilities. Faking a limp or manipulating their body to mock people with cerebral palsy or imitating speech impediments and people with intellectual disabilities. I felt particularly alienated when one kid made a cripple joke and everyone laughed, people who claim to be “politically correct”, people who I consider my friends. People who call themselves disability allies, who call themselves punks. Everyone’s a leftist, everyone’s all for being kind until it comes to disabled people.

Help me buy my aac tablet!

If can’t donate please reshare!

Hello, I’m Amy! I’m a minor with autism and a speech impairment. I’ve gotten to a point in my life where speech only irritates me and sends me into a shutdown. AAC was my only form of communication during times like this and I need that back for my health.

My family can’t currently afford to buy one and because of my age and disabilities, I can’t work. Originally I was using my phone and tablet as an aac device but having the app on my phone wasn’t working anymore. My tablet recently got broken so both options are gone.

My goal is $260. This will pay for the tablet and app. App want meant go on sell some time around October 15, this would be best time buy both
