What I Wish People Understood About Non-Speaking Autistics Who Spell to Communicate - Reframing Autism

In this remarkable guest blog by 14-year-old, non-speaking, Autistic advocate Patrick Saunders, he shares how he learnt to communicate throu

I remember when a teacher yelled at me because I could not answer the question via a PECS card. It made me feel stressed and upset. I was six years old and it happened all the time.

I require a communication and regulation partner to help me voice my thoughts. They help me regulate by supporting the letterboard. They support the letterboard to aid my physical limitations and to help my motor planning. They change letterboard colours and stencils as it provides more stimulation and gets me back on track. My favourite letterboard colour is green because it is easy to see and it makes spelling easier.

The letterboard is not placed on the table because I need help with my hands. They have a mind of their own. If it was placed flat on the table my finger would point at the wrong letters because I need the letterboard up high to accommodate my needs.

Dignity of Risk

(A poem by Patrick Saunders, a non-speaking Autistic who communicates with a letterboard and has ADHD, Apraxia and Disability Coordination D

“Ask me

Offer me choices

Always involve me in decision making

Tell your family

Tell your friends

Tell the world

Dignity of risk starts with you

But it ends with me.”

kirjoittanut Kevin Randle Olen toistuvasti sanonut, että aion mainita nimiä ja toimittaa asiakirjoja siitä, mitä he ovat sanoneet. Yksi mielenkiintoisimmista Roswellin törmäyksestä puhuneista oli Patrick Saunders, ja hän antoi tietoja sekä avaruusaluksen ja lentäjien ruumiiden löytymisestä että heinäkuun 1947 tapahtumiin osallistuneille henkilöille esitetyistä uhkauksista. Patrick Saunders, joka toimi Roswellin armeijan lentokentän adjutanttina heinäkuussa 1947, kuoli […] https://eksopolitiikka.fi/eksopolitiikka/patrick-saunders-salamyhkainen-roswell-tietovuotaja/
