#nonberbal

Library-fae for your free ableist blocklist. Speaking over people who are actually nonverbal and blocking them when they try to explain why it's a problem for people who can speak sometimes to call themselves nonverbal and say they're "going nonverbal".

This person is seemingly proud of being cripplepunk, but clearly didn't fucking bother to read the part about not speaking over other disabled people.

This person literally made a post demanding to know why "nonverbal can't be a spectrum just like other symptoms of autism" and is literally blocking nonverbal people and their allies who are explaining exactly why it's not a fucking spectrum, and is declaring that these people are "starting discourse".

So whenever I get really upset or stressed out, it's kinda like I reach a tipping point and typically after a breakdown/right before a breakdown my emotions just kind of disappear and I can't feel anything, I get sluggish, I stare off into space a lot almost like I'm in a trance, have trouble convincing myself to move, and go completely nonverbal unless forced to talk. Itaat? Does anyone else have this?

That sounds like it might be a shutdown, or something similar, I know I feel like that during some shutdowns. It might also just be a lack of spoons if it’s after a breakdown that is a meltdown since it takes a lot of energy out of you. If it is related to those, then yes, it is an autistic thing.
