Nonspeaking autistics partnering with nonspeaking autistics & their families.
That’s who we are. That’s what we do.
What’s a nonspeaker to do?
Nonspeaking, minimally speaking & unreliably speaking autistics have limited opportunity to participate in their own well being. Yet they encounter many challenges & obstacles that are inherent to autism & specific to their individual profiles.
Proposed support techniques & strategies lack insight from the neurodiverse perspective. Peer contact & encouragement regarding autism specific issues are often nonexistent. With parents & family as primary support, many nonspeakers need a bridge that offers their family access to an objective autistic point of view.
Also, if support for fluent communication is lacking, access to mentoring can be problematic.
Partnering with Me
As a nonspeaking autistic myself, I have lived experience facing & overcoming the shared challenges & obstacles of autism. My neurodiverse perspective provides me empathy & expertise with potential support strategies & solutions.
As a young adult, I am uniquely positioned to partner as both a peer mentor & as an advocate to family members. Drawing on my own tumultuous journey, I can support others through theirs.
My communication regulation partner is a registered Spelling to Communicate practitioner & OT who can readily support my client’s communication and regulation.
