nonverbal communication is valid communication

AACs are important for autistics that deal with communication issues. When your mouth parts don't work (verbal loss/ nonspeaking, semispeaking, selectively mute etc) or hell, you don't want to use verbal communication. And that's valid too.

There are plenty of auties that use both verbal and nonverbal communication. There are plenty of auties that prefer nonverbal communication. And that's okay.

we have semiverbal/speaking and nonverbal/speaking alters, alters who have verbal loss. a little too a lot.

in our life we've been forced to be verbal and that's not okay. our system is full of AAC users.

This is our oc Moon (which we wanna change their name) they're an AAC user and uses a wide range of nonverbal communication: communication cards, a tablet with an AAC app, written communication, printed out communication board, and TTS (text to speech). we project oh them. we mainly use text to speech and AAC apps - Honeylily

please remember it's okay to use AACs

I want AAC with more inclusive, and specific voices.

Nonspeaking people need more flamboyant voices. Nonspeaking people need more POC voices. Nonspeaking people need more androgynous voices. Etc.

The best voice I could find for my device was Josh by Accapella, and dont get me wrong, I love it. But, a teenage sounding, androgynous, slightly flamboyant voice?? THAT is what I really really want. Josh was the best for me because it is relatively androgynous, and doesn't give cishet. But, a voice like the one I previously described would make me feel so euphoric, and comfortable with myself.

Can we pleeaaaase make inclusive voices for AAC and TTS in general?

AAC (app) user culture is laughing at some of the ways it pronounces non-words or abbreviations. (Like OwO or lol for example)

yess! Those always seem to get our names wrong lol

#aac user culture is #aac #tts #AAC culture is

give them time to respond! i think this is a valid button for AAC/TTS users because i and other system members who use AAC/TTS and others who us AAC/TTS are not always fast responders. it takes me time to process before i type in TTS or start looking for the response on the AAC board - Allison

yes yes the answer is yes! we are a mid-high support needs disabled autistic polyfragmented DID system with alters with a wide range of vebralness. a lot of us use forms of AACs or TTS in out of inner world / headspace and in real life. if you think you need it, just use it. it's stressful at first, but nonverbal communication is communication and it's a valid way to communicate. 🧩 - The Dreamdrop System

Messin w vocable

I think it fits my verbal shutdown needs pretty well

I don’t super need robust communication bc usually if I’ve shut down my concerns are “get me out of here” and “I need space and quiet”

And vocable is terrible for robust for communication but Very Good for a few pre-programmed phrases I can press and play quickly

Plus I can read very well even when stressed so word based suits me better than symbol based

I just can’t. Type. Sometimes. So the buttons seem better suited.

If I can type, my TTS gives me more communication options, so I’m keeping that one too. I wish I had a free app that can do both but. You cant have everything in life. If any of you friends have any recommendations for a free app that does have both of those things, then I would gladly use it. I want the word buttons I can preprogram and the TTS feature, preferably with a way for me to copy/paste sentences from the AAC to a word processor or social media. Every program I’ve found costs money or is “free” with a subscription fee.

Disclaimer: I am a Level 1 autistic who is fully verbal most of the time. I use AAC for emergencies, not regularly. I am not an expert in AAC, but I am trying to learn more. I do not have the experiences of a full time AAC user.

#aac #Liza messes with aac #verbal shutdown #I had a partial verbal shutdown today (could say small words one at a time with significant effort)#and realized I couldn’t use my TTS #bc I couldn’t type bc I was too overwhelmed #scared the frick outta me bc my mom kept asking me questions and I couldn’t say enough to get her to understand I needed space #for a while #then again my mom doesn’t even know I have an AAC at all #so #*shrug emoji*
