Curate, connect, and discover
I want to start being able to use my AAC apps in public without feeling overly anxious about doing so
If there are any AAC users (I’m talking specifically devices, but any is fine) full time users or part time who have suggestions for how to help with that anxiety it would be much appreciated
I feel like using (I’m not sure if I worded that right) AAC especially in public will greatly benefit me, but the thought of doing so kind of terrifies me
So I’ve taken to texting my parents when I want something or just to talk in general, and my dad’s response of “use your words”, and/or “you can talk, use your words with me” makes me even more scared(?) to use an actual AAC app with them.
would like to use my AAC in public but very scared to do so not tell parents about AAC yet scared they will not accept this communication and make me talk all times
like that AAC let me use picture and text also like AAC let me see picture that go with text dont like AAC not showing me where some pictures are on board
(Used default AAC board and not current custom one)
I find not using AAC makes me more likely to use question mark when not sure word makes sense
Probably evidenced(?) by the amount of times I use this “(?)” as well as “(not sure if that makes sense)”and “(if that makes sense)”
I find that using the AAC makes me feel less pressured(?) to have perfect grammar(?) (which I honestly don’t think I need for a tumblr post)
