I see, big friend, it's hard for you to talk.

But you still want sign what is going on?
With a fin or with a push of your nose or so?

Isn't it hard to say what is on your mind that way?

You want to know how other plushies do that?
I'll ask!

Hej #plushies! How do you sign when you are #nonVerbal?

Two Blåhaj cuddly sharks sitting on a soft blue surface. One Blåhaj cuddles the other and has a side fin on their back. The Blåhaj that soothes the other Blåhaj also has a key cord around their neck with a Dutch OV-chipkaart on it.

That is helpful, Hapi, lets hope the plushies have useful tips!

New co-authored chapter: The Myth of Body Language and the Fallacies of Body Language Analysis and Training Programs in "Body Language Communication".

A look at why much of what we hear about body language just isn’t true.

Sometimes I find gestures as a method of communication fascinating. We're so used to verbal communication as the norm, but sometimes we switch to gestures because they're more succinct or something.

These thoughts brought on by my partner saying "sometimes Hollywood doesn't let directors really exercise their creative freedom outside the 3 act structure, and thats why Thor is so" *poses like a Greek statue"

And I worry that *I* might not be a good person . . . (ProPublica) Per a police report, the boy, who is #nonverbal would not stop playing with blocks and go to P.E.

A substitute teacher then dragged him to the gym by his ankle. A staffer photographed the dragging and alerted school leadership. @actuallyautistic

Augmented Reality Could Unlock the Voices of Nonspeaking Autistic People
A study using augmented-reality headsets with virtual keyboards and eye tracking, enabling non-speaking autistic people to type independently. (Critics have argued that human assistants for this kind of communication may be influencing what the person appears to be saying.)

Let it be known that not all #autistic people are like Lucy Bronze. They are all individuals.

Reading #SherlockHolmes and finding I relate to this quote, in my own kind of way, in terms of experiencing #nonverbal episodes and being connected to a number of people who tend to not really understand what is happening and become upset at my unwillingness to communicate with them.

“... the instant that I can communicate with you without endangering my own combinations, I shall do so.”

Question for my more nonverbal fellow autistic people:

Do you have trouble verbalizing because of difficulty organizing your thoughts into words, difficulty getting your mouth to respond to your intentions, or something else altogether?

I find I'm most likely to struggle in the first few hours of morning. It's not impossible, but it's a serious struggle, and my words come out reluctantly and tend to be jumbled and full of false starts.

Avec du language , on gagne dans la compréhension de la communication avec autrui.

La difficulté est d'y assembler des paroles, des intentions conscientes/inconscientes ainsi que que les actes passés et à venir.

Peut-être nos déceptions sont liées à ces actes (chez l'autre) qui ne coïncident pas avec nos attentes ?

Peut-être que nos attentes sont simplement le résultat d'une mauvaise formule que nous appliquons au déchiffrement d'un échange ?

Et si en fait, c'était + simple ?

Has anyone else listened to #TheTelepathyTapes podcast? I just finished Episode 7. Really fascinating stuff. Excited to listen to more.

My phone has an awesome text to speech feature, so as a non-verbal person I can still make and receive phone calls.

Once it is running, it's great. But there is a 20 to 35 second pause while it shows up in my end so I can type and then I can't copy and paste, so I've got to quickly type, too short like "hi" the other end doesn't get it, too long I'm making typos or too slow and they hang up.

I really wish there was a way to get this sorted

Fundsache. "Gibt es über den Ostdeutschen auch etwas Positives zu sagen?"

#Bias #Ostdeutsche #ostdeutsch #Westpresse #DDR #West #Ost

Und das läuft unter der Überschrift #Knigge. #Höflichkeit #politeness

Das mit der "Schwester Angelika" hängt mit dem besseren Standing der hiesigen #Frauen zusammen. Das ist halt gestandene Kompetenz statt dekoratives Parken bis zur Familiengründung.

Any #Nonverbal #Autistic people or friends / family? We got my 7yo a tablet and want to download an AAC app. Any recommendations?

Being #nonverbal it is frustrating to discuss world events with neurotypical friends and family. They seem satisfied with cursory conclusions. But I am slow to process events; it takes me a great deal of effort. When I finally arrive at a conclusion, it is on point and nuanced. By then, neurotypicals have moved on and say "whatever".

As promised here is Part 2! 👌👌

🌍✨ Did you know that non-verbal communication can speak volumes when you’re learning a language? Sometimes a wave, a thumbs-up, or even a simple nod can break down barriers faster than any phrasebook! 🤗✌️

When we teach and share Hebrew, we love incorporating gestures to bring the language to life. Whether it’s showing someone how to say “peace” with a handshake or mimicking the actions of daily life, these little movements make learning Hebrew even more engaging and exciting! 🙋‍♂️💬

So next time words fail, let your hands, eyes, and even your smile do the talking! 😊 What’s your favorite gesture when learning or sharing a language?
