Non Speaking - Tumblr Posts
Pixie see yet another person on tumblr actually saying “wish could be nonverbal “ …
Pixie not understand how anybody could actually want that … unless them really not know anything about what is actually like to actually be nonverbal .
Pixie really like being Pixie and yes that include being nonverbal !
but is terribly hard frustrating *expensive* difficult *dangerous* to be actually nonverbal .
is not a joke is not a choice is not fun is not SAFE .
imagine risk being killed by police officer just because . try get AAC out of pocket to answer thems question . because *could* be reaching for gun in pocket … yes this really do happen , too much , too often …
imagine emergency happen to loved person and not be able call get help …
imagine get in money trouble that require calling bank and . it take too long find somebody willing help . so get lots money fines for be late …
imagine just nobody want be friends because . not can communicate fast enough so . people just think “ so rude for not answer “ and just walk away . before can even start a reply …
Pixie have lots more want to say but . fingers hands wrists *hurt* . and . brain exhausted . from using AAC so much today . ( was speech therapy today ) .
somebody please can make this make sense why why why people say this ???
pixie not understand people being so disgustingly ableist .
