Jocelyn talking about how the way she is treated by her practitioner and others at H2M (Mouth to Hand Learning Center- a spelling institution) makes her feel normal and not disabled. Proof that simply presuming competence is life changing for nonspeakers.

April 2nd is World Autism Awareness Day. The best way to support is by listening to autistic individuals and learn from their experiences. Thank you all for being here. 💛
Many non speakers have shared that what they say is simply “mouth noise”, and not an accurate representation of what they mean to say, and Kaitlyn’s explanation is perfect. #autism #nonspeakersvoices #autismawarenessmonth #autismacceptance #spellers #spell2communicate #s2c #rpm

Rae Ruiz,age 24. When asked the question “What are some misconceptions that people might have about you and others like you?”, Rae answered by saying “A CRUEL MISCONCEPTION THAT PEOPLE HAVE IS, THAT NON SPEAKERS HAVE NOTHING TO SAY. LOVE SHOULD NOT BE BASED ON SPEAKING.”
