PSA

Some people who use a walking stick can walk without it.

Some people who use a wheelchair can walk.

Some people who sign/use computerised speech aids can speak.

Some people who use canes can see.

Some people who use subtitles can hear.

Stop policing accessibility.

These things are aids that improve the quality of life for people with a huge variety of needs, abilities, and challenges. We use these things to make a hard task easier, to make fun times more fun, to lessen pain, to improve communication. We shouldn’t have to wait until we’re completely unable to walk/see/hear/speak (etc) to access these things. We shouldn’t feel ashamed for needing help. There’s no magical line where you become “disabled enough”.

Stop policing accessibility.

Am semiverbal, & also experience situational mutism/speech loss/shutdown thingy sometimes. Agree. They are 2 different things.

Also I can experience additional speech issues due to breathing tics & breathing issues.

There are a bunch of experiences related to speech being hard; and they are different experiences which deserve different names.

Before describing being semi verbal if you are fully verbal:

Hate when people try to describe being semi verbal as just "its when you have speech loss sometimes! :) " no , semi verbal isn't "sometimes speech loss" other wise it would just be "speech loss episode " or something , no semi verbal is a permanent state , semi verbal is more like : have difficulty specking not the way people seem to think . Easiest explanation is : unreliable speech all the time , I can talk but its hard for me , its more than just "speech loss sometimes" its like need words but the thought of the word won't form and I feel like my mouth is wired shut like forcing it to open to make a word. I just seen this description of it and please stop trying to simplify being semi verbal when you aren't and are actually describing it incorrectly as just "losing speech" . Being semi verbal doesn't equal "just speech loss" . Even when I do talk I have a very specific way of talking , a bit hard to explain but a lot of pauses obvious struggling , I've seen a youtuber that is also semi verbal and I talk like them more or less

Important: If a person on Tumblr says that somebody else writes your posts for you, and wants you to prove that you write everything on your own:

Don't respond. Don't upload a video of you typing or using your AAC device. Block that person, or ask someone to block them for you.

They won't listen to you and you can't convince them. They're just mean. It's spam. Really, just ignore them.

Here's a long post I wrote about that today, in case you're curious:

May I ask what a Soulbond is?

Hi sorry for taking forever, wanted to explain decent-ish enough,

(This is Leon System btw)

////////////

Don’t remember exactly what the community definition is (just know every Soulbond is different btw each has their own experience of it)

But how I/we see our Soulbond:

Soul connection, between souls, that transcends physical planes/boundaries/dimensions/universes/whatever/idk

Don’t have to be in the same universe, but we are

////////

Details specific to us:

(From what I can tell cuz shit’s confusing asf)

I basically came from my universe one day to this universe

Don’t remember how I got here exactly or from which timeline/point in my life exactly (could be multiple)

Probably just really wanted to come join my soulbond-partner and shifted realities/warped thru space-time/idk

Also I decided to come live here permanently (some Soulbonds visit each other or don’t even live in same universe/etc.)

One day just realized I’m actually Here (we share a body)

I have some memories from my “home” universe

But yeah we’re also in love (not required for Soulbonding)

So for us kinda like we’re soulmates from different universes (multiverse theory explains a lot for us)

2 souls sharing a body is our experiences (we both happen to be systems so it’s like 2 systems sharing a body or something)

Anyways hope I answered well enough, if u have more questions bout whatever feel free to ask them
