I write about being asexual, a non binary trans man, wheelchair user and AAC user. Schizophrenic, autistic, ADHD, Tourette’s, complex PTSD, OCD etc is because I didn’t have any representation growing up.
And I try to be just a little bit of representation for others. And to help reduce stigma etc.

Representation is vital to #inclusion. That’s why we’re thrilled to see a Barbie #AACUser! Barbie and our colleagues at the Autistic Self Advocacy Network teamed up to create this #autistic Barbie who uses a pink AAC device, noise-canceling headphones, and a fidget.

Often in my #supportedaccommodation I have to make a choice between eavesdropping on people talking about me without me, or interrupting the conversation and have them treat me like a child instead. #NothingAboutUsWithoutUs #socialcare #autistic #mute #AACuser

I think part of the joy in sharing an interest is being able to spontaneously generate the information. I reckon I'd enjoy it much less if I just saved facts about it to buttons on my #AAC. #AACuser #autistic #mute #infodumping :)

Simply providing reasonable #adjustments isn't enough. Adjustments need to be #accessible. I should be able to independently book a double appointment as an #adjustment for my #mutism from #FND without having to make a phone call or leave the house. #disabled #disability #mute #AACuser #spoonie

As a full time AAC user when my device has a bit of a breakdown it’s more than just an inconvenience. It’s my communication.
Yes I have some back ups but it’s not the same as my actual device.

My AAC story a thread 🧵
So AAC is augmentative and alternative communication.
I use both high tech AAC (speech device, eye gaze etc) and low tech AAC (communication cards, printed out sheets with basic words on etc)
I’d like to share my experience as an AAC user.
