I’m learning sigh language since I’m partially nonverbal and my good friend already knows it and has been great teaching me. It’s a skill I really want to continue to cultivate since it is extremely useful to me. Being a partially nonverbal autistic person, being able to communicate when I am nonverbal is vital for me not just for comfort but also for safety and health reasons. Being partially nonverbal for me means that I go back and forth a lot. Sometimes, I can speak perfectly and won’t shut up. :P Other times, it difficult or impossible, sometimes even painful, to just get one word out of my mouth. And there are also times where I’m somewhere in the middle. For the latter two, signing has been amazing. I’ve actually been wanting to learn for a while but was worried about appropriating “deaf culture” since I and my friends are hearing people. But since I learned that a lot of nonverbal and partially nonverbal people use it, I’ve been feeling much better about learning. I’d definitely recommend it if you’re like me or especially if you’re less verbal than me. The bonus is that it’s also a bit useful for my auditory processing disorder and sensory overload when I have to wear noise canceling ear muffs. I would actually very much recommend all autistic kids to know signs for those reasons. The benefits it can provide us are actually rather extraordinary. Communication opens the door to so much. And sometimes, for us, signs are really the best way to open those doors, even as a person who isn’t permanently nonverbal.

Things I’ve realized since being officially diagnosed with autism

~My birth mother was most likely autistic and that explains a lot of our interactions, my odd feelings around her, her misdiagnosis, and behaviors/personality

~Self harm is actually a stim and that’s why I’ve always resorted to it when I have meltdowns

~All my other mental illnesses are actually really common comorbidities with autism in girls, thus my autism is the cause of my other mental illnesses

~I’m not high-functioning, but rather midrange and at times low-functioning

~I hate the term “Aspergers” and prefer “autism”

~My obsessive behaviors with friends and romantic interests are actually common traits of autism in girls, thus they can be explained at autistic behaviors

~I do naturally do flappy hands, rocking, stimming, and other autistic behaviors, but have had them trained out of me

~Floortime and intensive interaction are awesome therapies (and I might like to do them as a career)
