“idk what am mean but definitely not mean that” n “idk how say what am mean but definitely not that” some of worst experiences ever

i get being nonverbal irl; but how does it equate to typing in broken english online?

hi.

1. am not nonverbal, am semiverbal. able speak mouth but difficult n with problems (short phrases, stutter, wrong words, wrong grammar, etc.)

2. being nonverbal / semiverbal does not 'equate' typing with bad grammar. some nonverbal semiverbal people type with correct grammar. some not. it individual.

3. some nonverbal semiverbal people are nonverbal semiverbal with only mouth speech problems. when brain mouth disconnect or disarthria or other reasons. can form sentences fine just can't say it by mouth. some not. some have other language problems. which impact forming sentences, finding words, etc.

4. nir semiverballness impact not only mouth. impact thoughts. impact language forming. translate thoughts into words is difficult. connect words together n form sentences is difficult. so not only speak weird. but type weird too.

5. if your question good faith, not best way to ask it. some people uncomfortable explaining why speak type this way. so better ask permission before questions about how speak type. also some people uncomfortable when call their way speaking typing 'broken.' better ask 'if comfortable, tell how semiverballness impact your typing.'

The pain of wanting to talk about special interest but I can't get the right words out of me.

The pain of not understanding a word they just told me they looked so happy

hate it when ppl say that language disability dont mean anything

have both receptive and expressive

means have hard time understanding new words, learning new words, connecting new words to concepts, saying words, recalling words, putting words in right order, spelling words correctly, etc.

ofc i would have trouble with new pronouns

i am not "hypothetical"

i am right here and /begging/ for accomodations only to be brush aside as ableist or transphobic bc "no one actually like that, stop using disabled ppl"

not saying have to use he/she/they/it. can use name or aptnouns or any other thing

btw i use neos too before anyone tries to say something

Kiku has question for other non and semiverbal/speaking peoples. Do anyone know anything about communication disabilities that not speech related/apraxia of speech? Because Kiku think have a language disability as well as Kiku's speech disability. But it hard find resources about them and what can find is vague or not easy to read/not make sense.

tiny language/communication hc:

The Nurse Shark || Beth Riley When she first meets someone, she tries to speak as perfectly polished “Haole” {regular American English}. When she starts to relax with a person, she also relaxes and starts to slip into pidgin, which is way easier for her and less taxing in a way that she doesn’t have to think about. Which lets her communicate faster, if not clearer. The hardest part of most English for her are consonant digraphs {th, ch, etc}. She tends to drop certain digraphs, or substitute letters she thinks she’s heard. EX: Breath is more likely to come out as “brea’d” if she’s being “lazy” or “casual” or as “breat’” if she’s trying harder to express herself.

She might engage in conversation with weird, random non-sequiturs, likely due to mishearing/misinterpreting something spoken to her. There are also certain words or terms that she may not even realise she’s incorrectly pronouncing. {{Granberries rather than cranberries, Bads instead of bats.}}

~*~ All of that being said, as a mun with ND and differently abled friends, if you need me to write her dialogue in “plain” English or some other way to make it easier to interact, please do not hesitate to let me know. I want this to be fun for both of us, and that means not making *you* struggle.

I feel scared. I have a spanish class and next week we're doing a speaking test (which means that its 90% of my grade) but I cant speak

my teachers all know that sometimes we're unable to speak (we're not going to tell our teachers that we're a system/we have OSDD-1B) but it seems like my spanish teacher just doesn't care at all.

Though maybe i can try to use coughdrop (its the only AAC thing i have were I can easily change the language) or pretend that my microphone doesn't work

My clinical supervisor recently described a client as being full of "nervous excitement." It hit me suddenly that I spend my entire social and maybe my entire interacting-with-the-outside-physical-world life in that exact state. One of my goals as a clinician/teacher and a person is to project calm. Hmmm. That's a pretty big gap to figure out how to bridge.

The client, btw, is a young person who loves interacting but finds it difficult and stressful to turn his thoughts into sentences.
