top-tier tips: comunication w nonverbal folks

personal think these most important takeaways from video post earlier, so!

no condescend or patronise that’s stuff like “good girl,” complimenting carers on our work & skills, using babyvoice, & simplifying language when not asked for - even nonverbal child shouldnot be treat this way for just living life, let alone adult. we’re people, not trained animals!

no speech doesnot mean no comunicate if trusted person understand what we mean, is not “mind-reading” - just means we got some way comunicate w that person! body language, signs, even written notes - you might not see, but is there

no response doesnot mean being rude if we’re out alone (or trusted person has step away) we may not have way comunicate. if you ask question & get frustrate or confuse noise in response, that likely means we lack way answer - if encounter at nother time, might be able chat! without our proper aids, at best can only answer simple yes/no questions, maybe pick from short numbered list

don’t take our voice away whether means physical take device, remove access to PECS cards/book, turn away while signing, get huffy while we type answer, whatever - don’t. doesn’t matter how curious, or how bored - you wouldnot like much if someone squeeze your throat while talk, right? don’t do same to us!

nonverbal doesnot mean intelectual disability… yes, there can be overlap, & there no problem in acknowledge this. but is not always the case, & it just make awkward when assume this way. if you ask nonverbal person abt fandom, introduce by name - if they know, yay, have fun! if not, don’t make assumption on ability - just give brief rundown, warnings if need, & they’ll decide if intrest.

…but speaking of, also check how you treat & think of ID people. OK, yes, this post is abt nonverbality. but forreal, if you look at nonverbal person, come to (potential wrong) conclusion they ID, & decide must treat like young child? this also wrong & offensive. see point #1 again - try learn our level & needs as individuals.

don’t assume you know our thoughts if you see incomplete sentence typed on device, don’t try complete it. if you know we trying make choice, don’t overload w suggestions & try make it for us. at best, is slight annoy & slows down - at worst, could make complete overload.

remember: even we’re not always up for talk!

Reminder from someone with actual literal brain damage from a brain injury to stop fucking using "brain damage" and "brain injuries" as a means of describing someone whose opinions you don't like or deem as stupid.

It's ableist and offensive as fuck, and for some reason a lot of leftist people think it's okay to use. I've seen posts replying to right wing racists calling them "brain damaged if you believe this" and "do you have a brain injury? do you not understand X?". Just now I saw a beautiful post about fat people throughout history that was absolutely ruined by opening with "How do we break it to boomers with actual brain damage and nostalgic brainrot..." before continuing to say that fat people existed throughout history.

Brain damage does not make you racist. A brain injury doesn't make you ignorant, or fatphobic, or unaware of history and politics. Stop fucking using my disability as a catch all to describe people you think are shitty. Y'all use it like it's a replacement for how people used to use the R-slur, which shows you learned absolutely nothing about why the R-slur was wrong to use and decided to throw in other disabilities instead. Fuck off and stop doing it.

(And don't do it with other disabilities either, because I know y'all do.)

I know a lot of people with brain injuries. They're smart, and funny, and compassionate. They learn about the world and care about social issues and wish they could go to protests if their disability won't allow them to. Are there right wing people with brain injuries? Sure, absolutely. But they are not right wing because they have a brain injury, and using any disability as an insult is still fucking ableist.

Tldr - stop using brain damage and brain injury as an insult. It's ableist and incredibly offensive.

Love, your local brain injured/brain damaged pal
