Looks like @ASHAWeb is going to have to revise one of its position statements. It can no longer call assisted letterboard communication “pseudoscience” and “not evidence-based.” rdcu.be/b37fW #AAC #NonspeakingDoesNotEqualNonthinking #DisabilityRights
United for Communication Choice retweeted
@mocost When #neurodiversity activists share the words of nonspeaking autists, they clearly demonstrate that they are part of the #DisabilityRights movement, whereas those who try to silence nonspeakers are obviously against the cornerstone principle of disability rights.
United for Communication Choice retweeted
@mocost I'd like to call on every speaking autistic on Twitter who calls themselves a neurodiversity advocate to prove it by sharing the words of nonspeaking autistic people. Use the hashtag #istandwithnonspeakers.

"Non-educators often assume that standardised tests are accurate and objective. Wrong. The same student can take the same test on different points of time and get different results. All standardised tests accurately reflect family income and parents’ education." -Diane Ravitch

Big thank you to @U4CommChoice (who we just realized we forgot to mention in the credits of #A_tisticHelpingHands, whoops!) - they helped us connect with Hari Srinivasan, who made sure our nonspeaking character's arc was done accurately and respectfully! a-tistic.com.au/helping-hands
United for Communication Choice retweeted
@ekverstania Thank you so much for recommending we get in contact with @U4CommChoice several months ago - you helped us find Hari Srinivasan, our fabulous nonspeaking consultant, who helped make sure we did right by our nonspeaking character for this: a-tistic.com.au/helping-hands
United for Communication Choice retweeted
@ekverstania @U4CommChoice It's really exciting! We at @ActualA_tistic have been hard at work for ages; now we can finally share Helping Hands - & apart from having a main nonspeaking character, a main trans character & a main autistic parent character, it's also REALLY FUNNY imo

[THREAD] "If you’re not in the autism world and if you’re not in the world within that world of nonspeaking autistics, those who have historically (and quite noxiously) been labeled “low-functioning,” then you might not know about the current controversy involving Wikepedia."

I have undertaken to post a piece of writing, or a video or some other artefact every day from a nonspeaking autistic person who uses words or word-linked symbols to communicate.
UCC is united in support of the human, civil, and legal rights of people with disabilities to choose their most effective methods of communication. #DisabilityRightsAreCivilRights #IStandWithNonspeakers #ISupportCommunicationAccess #FreeMyAAC
Contrary to popular misconception, there is in fact *abundant* evidence to support the use of RPM, FC, and related AAC teaching methodologies! See our newly updated compilation of peer-reviewed research bit.ly/2Uihw38 #DisabilityRightsAreCivilRights
"What goes for science one day is often disproven. Our responsibility as humans is to be humble, not to much to question people's real or perceived limitations. But to question our own limitations in understanding them." -- Bob Williams
Researchers Show Parachutes Don't Work - "Scientists often read just the conclusion of a study and then draw their own conclusions that are far more sweeping than are justified by the actual findings.” n.pr/2rQjUlt
Exercising the right to communicate effectively in the Rotunda of the US Capitol, where Congress in 1990 adopted the ADA: PWD shall not "be excluded from ... the services, programs, or activities of a public entity, or be subjected to discrimination by any such entity."
"The silence of speechlessness is never golden. We all need to communicate and connect with each other- not just in one way, but in as many ways as possible..." #IStandWithNonSpeakers #ISupportCommunicationChoice
