Here's the finished (well might shade it, not sure) pic
Currently don't have the spoons to add an image discription but will try to later (although if someone wants to write one Kiku will add it to this post).
Discription in Alt text
"you can talk. you don't need AAC. you're fine."
āyou can talk. you donāt need AAC. youāre fine.ā, said a friendās SLP.
I can talk too. so why do I use AAC?
sometimes Iām hyperverbal and oral speech is overwhelming to me, so I use AAC.
sometimes Iām already overwhelmed and oral speech makes it even worse, so I use AAC.
sometimes I need to conserve energy and oral speech is draining, so I use AAC.
sometimes I need to set a boundary and oral speech is unreliable, so I use AAC.
sometimes I need to explain scary medical symptoms and oral speech is unreliable, so I use AAC.
sometimes Iām wearing a mask and oral speech is muffled, so I use AAC.
sometimes itās more peaceful than oral speech, so I use AAC.
sometimes it helps me unmask my autism, so I use AAC.
sometimes it feels right, so I use AAC.
sometimes I need to practice it before I need it, so I use AAC.
sometimes Iām anxious and oral speech is not working at all, so I use AAC.
sometimes my mouth is full of food, so I use AAC.
sometimes Iām in the middle of using my inhaler, so I use AAC.
sometimes oral speech is my best option, so I donāt use AAC, and thatās okay too.
AAC isnāt a last resort or an all-or-nothing choice. use it if and when it helps you, even if you ācan talkā.

AAC isn't a last resort or an all-or-nothing choice. use it if and when it helps you, even if you 'can talk'.
For the Stranger Things Ć AAC fans.
May every young AAC user have parents as fiercely supportive as Joyce Byers.
