Struggles For A Voice
We are autistic individuals who had no way to communicate, until someone introduced us to supported typing.
Now, we can let the world know that there is a thinking, feeling person inside the broken shells that are our bodies. Now, we can say things that come so easily to others, like "I'm hungry." Now, we can tell our families that we love them.
Typing isn’t for everyone, but for us it OPENS THE WINDOW TO THE WORLD and introduces relationship at a profoundly meaningful level.
When you give someone an opportunity to communicate, you change their lives forever.
