Evolved from the Leo in Bloom magazine to a more central account for my efforts to share stories & experiences of nonspeaking autistics with the world!

Dear Friends,
I am so not active on Twitter. It is so hard for me to keep up with its fast pace! I so appreciate people amplifying my words here! This includes posts from the revamped Leo in Bloom Project sharing words of nonspeakers! https://t.co/Ec9DsfDb7M

Thank you to all the awesome nonspeaking advocates and allies who visited our Communication 4 ALL table at #Motormorphosis last weekend. We loved catching up with you and seeing you wear our t-shirts. -Elizabeth @IASCspells

I gave my first conference presentation last week. I felt very proud of it, and I am so glad that it moved the audience. #nonspeakingautistic

Thank you for the opportunity to present, @TheNurturePro

@ekverstania @juliaisautistic Wow, thank you so much, @ekverstania for your continuous amplification and support of me and other nonspeakers!

[Danny Whitty, Speller & Friend @dannywithwords]

Oh my goodness! @FunFactsLulu is such an awesome ally! (I am still working on your poem, btw!)

I'll also add that folks should check out ALL the articles on Leo In Bloom, a magazine featuring nonspeakers from all over the world which is edited by a nonspeaking writer.

A piece by @dannywithwords (the editor) about supporting nonspeaking advocates:

[fun facts with lulu 🌈 😷 @FunFactsLulu]

An autism study refers to "Minimally verbal" vs "verbally fluent" autistic kids, but they just mean whether the kids talk out loud.

Can't help but think of nonspeaking poets like @Imanestardust, @dannywithwords, Hannah Emerson...their fluency is beyond mine. I just talk a lot.

[Danny Whitty, Speller & Friend @dannywithwords]

For our August issue of Leo in Bloom, the theme is "Blooming in Communication" about how the transition to fluent communication feels. I am so absolutely thrilled to share this piece contributed by Gregory C Tino, nonpeaking autistic author & communicator! https://t.co/d9qibgHg5z

@ekverstania Thank you so much! (I know this reply is very late, but as always, I appreciate you!)

[Danny Whitty, Speller & Friend @dannywithwords]

It was my honor! It is an important book!

[Danny Whitty, Speller & Friend @dannywithwords]

@ekverstania Wow, thank you! I am so overwhelmed by Twitter so I do not use it much, so I so appreciate you amplifying my words on here!

[Тania Melnyczuk @ekverstania]

I love the writing of @dannywithwords. Danny recently achieved a breakthrough in his communication partnership with his mother. Among other modes, Danny relies on Spelling to Communicate, which requires a CRP (Communication & Regulation Partner). More: https://t.co/4rMc8AvuCm
