Who Speaks for Autistic Non-Speakers? (2022)
Non-speaking autistic people often get left out of the conversation when it comes to autism advocacy online. Parents often claim to be their non-speaking child's voice. Autistic advocates often claim to know more about autistic non-speakers due to shared neurotype. There's a divide between parents/family of autistic non-speakers and speaking autistic advocates online. Rarely does anyone consult autistic non-speakers due to so few having gained access to communication and gained visibility online. In this video, we seek to begin to bridge the gap and listen to different points of view, with the hope of building bridges and starting conversations to best help autistic non-speakers and those who love and care about them.
Many thanks and much respect to those who agreed to interview for this project!
