we prefer nonhuman communication

this video is about how we prefer using nonverbal communication over our mouth parts. we force ourselves to speak at times, we want to stop and use what's more comfortable with us, AACs. just a short video about it.

this feels alot like us! we dont use acc often however we do have one selectively mute little alter while in headspace their being taught to use picture cards with words on them (we used flashcards alot as a kid). we really only use acc during meltdowns because we tend to just say angry things without knowing what were saying.

@@alexisdied4558 you guys are so so valid

I can talk but rarely do, it is so difficult and stressful. I use Proloquo, picture cards & a bit of signing. I could use text AAC but it is too easy and I overshare so only use that with people I know. using symbols acts as a buffer and helps me to regulate what I say. I am selective mute - thats not very selective. Am I autistic? not certain but I definitely have some traits. Everyone seems to think you are deaf and dumb as you do not talk and sign a bit.

@@Paul-s3m8m you are valid for using any form of communication if needed, autistic or no

@@Paul-s3m8m I fully relate! Selective mutism just means it happens in certain situations not that you choose to people have criticized the wording. For me it is selective since I strongly prefer not to speak verbally when I have meltdowns since I end up saying random angry words that I don't even understand how they came out.
