Lost language, gaining sensory

Post Reply New Topic

I'm trying to process some of your responses.

Is speaking really that hard for you? If it is, I am truly sorry for not understanding your situation. Forgive me because I can only see the words you type. I have no idea how you are with words you speak.

For some people speaking will mess up their sensory processing. Even if words and speaking are what society expects, being able to process the world, and keep yourself safe is more important than fitting in.

Why are words more important than not walking into trees? Or not walking into roads? Or being able to understand what you're seeing?

Speaking can easily mess with it and cause people to not be able to do those. Or other things can cause people to not be able to either speak or process vision.

For many of us its a balancing act, which things do I use, which do I augment, which do I avoid. But its about safety, because just acting like society expects us to is not safe, even if we could technically get away without using any adaptive equipment.
