I want to talk about grammar on AAC.
Using proper grammar can make it a lot easier for people to understand what you mean, but sometimes, it can be difficult for us to use proper grammar when using AAC. The limited space and time on our devices can make it challenging to construct grammatically correct sentences. And let’s be real, typing out every single word and punctuation mark can be time-consuming and exhausting.
I understand that grammar is important. However, I wish that people would recognize that difficulty with grammar doesn’t diminish the value or the validity of AAC user’s (or anyones) thoughts and opinions.
I personally don’t tend to struggle with it, and I’ve always been skilled in both reading and writing. This gives me privilege, because when I share my experiences and thoughts as a nonspeaking autistic with high support needs, people listen. I’ve noticed that when its other people like me, but they struggle with grammar, the post gets so few notes and nobody listens.
This isn’t okay.
I have learned so much from people that type in more simple or ungrammatical ways, and I guarantee you could too.
Stop skipping over AAC user’s who don’t have perfect grammar.
