This nonspeaker library is the work of Typer Tremblings.

This is a living document. Things will be added to it as I read more from my kin and as we keep showing our words and selfhoods to the world. If you have ideas for links to add to this document, please tell me! It may take a while because of my disabilities and time constraints but I will get it uploaded.
A few disclaimers:

• Not everyone I include here would describe themselves as nonspeakers. Not everyone might fit the group most usually called nonspeakers. However it mostly includes writing by nonspeaking autistic people who use partner assisted methods to communicate. But it also includes other groups like: minimal and unreliable speaking people, people who can use speech sometimes but not always, people who identify as nonverbal instead of nonspeaking, nonspeaking people who are not autistic, and AAC users who do not call themselves nonspeaking. I am not saying all of these experiences are the same thing but I am seeking to put them all in conversation and arrange them in mosaic over time instead of staying siloed off.
• Some of these articles will be written by people who are not nonspeaking, but I still think people should read to understand our lives. I am centering our voices, so I will make it clear when a link is written by a speaking person. I will do this by putting it in bold after an author's name and include the role they have in our lives (parent, professional, speaking disabled person, researcher, ect).

Even looking at the full document as I was picking articles was so overwhelming! So, my tech savvier friend helped me break it up into many different docs.
