Hello, welcome to The Council's AAC-oriented sideblog! We're a plural system (main blog is @thecouncilofidiots) who uses plural they/it pronouns and are 21+
We are verbalflux due to language/speaking skill regression caused by schizophrenia. We have disjointed/disorganized speech/thoughts, as well as speech loss episodes. We are autistic, which influences our speech capabilities, but isn't significantly impactful. However, we do have selective mutism due to chronic anxiety (managed by anti-anxiety medication), and non-vox alters
We're working on learning/using AAC to help us communicate
AAC means augmentative and alternative communication, and is any method of communication that doesn't rely on spoken word
When we are experiencing disorganized/disjointed thoughts/speech due to psychosis, our typing often reflects it (for example "Council feel cold, think need get more blanket"). It's not a typing quirk, or something that we can translate, so please be patient with us
Important note : due to our conditions/disorders, we cannot add our own image IDs to our posts. However, we will happily reblog/add image IDs if others are willing make them; it is not apathy for accessibility, but rather, a case of incompatible disabilities

((BYI, we are explicitly 100% safe for systems of any/all origin, level of functionality/disorder, ect - plurality is an umbrella term and spectrum <3))
