Auties who are non verbal, when we refer to "talking" on this site, of course, of course, of course we are referring to whichever method of communication you personally use. If you use sign language, and you are able to send me a video message, I have a friend who can translate for me. Will it take some time? Probably. Does it matter? Not really. I want to "hear" from you all in any way that you are able to do so. If you speak French, mine is too rusty. But if we were around each other for about two weeks, I would remember it. Works with the French relatives!

If you speak Spanish, we are out of luck. My son in love could speak with you fluently. Don't know anything about Chinese or Japanese, German or Arabic. But they tell me there are apps for all of that and more. My point in all of this rambling is that I don't talk on here just to hear myself speak. That would be incredibly boring, don't you think?

I do like to share stories that I think might help someone along their way. I like to get the conversation started. I like to share information, and I will be getting better at doing that. ( When I was little, we were using chisels and hammers, carving letters onto rocks, a la Fred Flinstone)

Someone once said in front of me, oblivious to my own personal label of Autism, that Autists don't feel like other people do. I was horrified. Yet there are still plenty of folks who think that.

So, what do you say? Let's show everyone the feels! Wonderful Wednesday to you, me lovelies.

As I just read this post, I feels the warm fuzzies, @mamacita

they can also communicate and send email vis their laptop or ipad using the pictogram communication system which is available and friends with non verbal children use in Australia . I was talking to an autie friend in Brazil yesterday she was having a meltdown and she was speaking to me in Portuguese and I was replying in English we were both using the BIng translator and it worked well gave her an easier time to express herself and me time to read and listen
