Something I wanted to bring up since I think it gets misinterpreted sometimes

I'm not trying to gatekeep the word or disregard people who have moments where they can't talk. That's a real thing but I think nonverbal isn't the right word for it since it describes something different.

​

People who are semi verbal or non verbal already get talked over a lot so I think it's important that we keep in mind how misusing a term like that adds to their erasure.

​

I tried my best to say this in a way that's just a friendly notice and not trying to shame anyone. If any nonspeaking autistic people want to have input or give any advice please please do!!!
