Communication is Everything.

A common thread that every single nonspeaker shares is just how important having a way of communicating is. Communication is survival, it is freedom , it is a basic civil right and it is EVERYTHING. However it looks, it cannot wait. Here’s some of us talking about that.
  • Freedom Is - Gregory Tino | The Autistic Mind Finally Speaks.  A poem by Gregory Tino on the little and huge joys and freedoms of having a way to communicate.
  • Coming Out Of Silence - Everyone Communicates

Quotes from many different nonspeakers who come from many different experiences , about the silence we have dealt with for so much of our lives. And how it feels to come out of that silence.
