article on autism myths

Post Reply New Topic

I'm writing an article on autism myths in an online magazine, and I think I should close it with the myth "nonverbal autists cannot speak for themselves." To really hammer it home, I want each word I write also be a hyperlink to a blog/site owned or operated by a nonverbal autist.

Got any suggestions who I can ask?

I can't answer your question, but more important than specific links may be to explain that many nonverbal people can nevertheless type. People probably assume (I did too) that if someone can't speak, that's because they can't form sentences.

am a severely communication impaired LFA autist if need any help,am non verbal [by the traditional definition] much of the time [echolalic speech;the rest],brain switches it off and its been viewable under EEG.

are welcome to link to the blog of mine as a representation,the support staff and specialists of mine use it to find out what am thinking;its a mental archive but also use it to sound off about autism,intelectual disability and epilepsy issues.

Have a look at "What's The Biggest Lie About Aspies" thread for ideas.
