BE PATIENT WITH PEOPLE WITH SPEECH DIFFICULTIES

[clownpuppysposts]

What is the difference between speech difficulties from Autism and speech difficulties from Dyspraxia?

(Yes I could google this but I probably wouldn't understand the answer)

Heyo welcomee

made this blog for anything that doesn't fit on my age regression blog mostly just going to talk about my special interests , disability related things mostly but who knows!

I'm mochi and here are some thing about me:

🌻I'm semi specking and get tired/overwhelmed from talking a lot

🌻I struggle to type when overwhelmed but also sometimes I'm either regressed (involuntarily) or its just more comfortable and feels right

🌻If I don't respond I'm not ignoring you , I'm probably overwhelmed or busy

🌻I'm autistic and medium support needs, also people are very confusing to me to be honest (especially neurotypicals) , Sometimes I can't understand my own emotions and get overwhelmed from strong emotions (and disappear until I can feel better), Might struggle to understand what you mean and ask for it to be explained in a different way (especially if no tone indicator is included , don't be rude please)

🌻I have wonky spine / chronic back pain

🌻I'm an artist and writer! I'll probably post at some point about an art account and any stories that get finished

🌻I may sometimes struggle to advocate for myself

Use tone indicators/tone tags with me please

#mochi semi verbal talk (when I talk of being semi verbal)

Hey! What word should I use to describe speech difficulties caused by physical reasons (severe asthma/laryngitis/fibermalgyia/throat got stabbed/etc)? Should I use speech impaired or something else?

[apexhumanservicesllc]

Autism spectrum disorder is a cognitive condition wherein brain development is greatly affected. It affects how a person perceives and socializes with others, resulting in problems with social interaction and communication. It usually manifests in limited and repetitive patterns of behavior. People who are diagnosed with this may require nursing and health services in Yeadon, Pennsylvania, and other parts of the world.

How is Google Helping People with Speech Difficulties?

We all depend on Google every single day! Let’s see how is Google helping people with speech difficulties? Google has been working to make life easier for all of us. This surely also includes people with speech impediments. There are many people in this world living with speech deficits. In other words, disorders such as dysarthria, Parkinson’s disease, and other speech clarity disorders. Many of these people have moderate to severe speech clarity issues. Further, this makes it hard for them to communicate. Hence, Google decided to launch several programs to help people with disabilities. So, let’s see how is Google helping people with speech difficulties?

Oh what the fucking SHIT. Never seen anyone mention Nikto's 'canon face'

[amykiriwosdefenselawyer]

Anyway Shiida is autistic and Atori is ADHD and I refuse to acknowledge otherwise because I am right

[scatterpatter]

Yeah I like them a lot, they have good vibes together

Blurr's rambles under the cut because can you tell i was a mid distance runner as a kid

And you see most bots tend to assume that the 1600 is the toughest race to run because it's the longest standardized race but in actuality I find it to be much easier for most bots because one can take a much more leisurely pace unless you're me of course in which case I can maintain a sprint for significantly longer than a mere 1600 but I digress anyways I personally believe the 400 to be the hardest race and I dont say that just because I was the best 400 runner as a sparkling but because the pace vs distance ratio is so strange I mean far too long for most bots to sprint but far too short to allow a slower pace like the 800 or 1600 would allow and also not to mention

@intrulogical sent me a Logan Angst prompt!

logan crying in a video whilst offering a solution to something and thomas going "stop crying"

I'm still taking Logan Angst prompts from any word or phrase sent to my ask box!

--

Asking for clarification had become almost habit for him by now.

"Ah, so you didn't mean that literally then?" Logan steadied his expression after the realization struck him. "I suppose this is why clarification is so useful in these discussions."

"There's nothing to clarify, Specs!" Roman threw his hands up dramatically. "It's not like we were trying to trick you!"

Logan blinked at that response. He hadn't thought they were trying to deceive him with their words, no, but it's not as though they had meant what they said, either. Hence the need for clarification.

He nodded towards Roman, replying,

"I understand that, but--"

"Do you?" Roman instantly cut him off. "Because it seems like it takes a million times for us to explain something to you before you actually get it!"

Oh. So he was bothered by Logan's repeated desire for clarification. The quantity was the issue.

"I believe I understand your concern. While some subjects may take extra consideration, I can assure you, I am trying my best."

"Are you?"

Thomas stared back at him with an unreadable expression. Was it unreadable to everyone else, too, or just him?

"Wh..." He was so shocked to hear Thomas outright doubt him like that, he couldn't even formulate the question he wanted to ask. He tried not to let it show, straightening his stance.

Thomas needed his trust, his confidence.

"Of course I am," he told him.

He just needed to be confident. He didn't need to bring more doubt to the topic at hand, after all.

"Princey kind of has a point, though," Thomas only frowned at him. "We've talked about this before, but you never seem to get it. Aren't you supposed to be the smart one?"

"Well, yes, of course," Logan replied as quickly as possible, trying not to sputter over how badly his attempt had just failed. "But it's not as though I have limitless knowledge--"

"Aren't you his language center or whatever it's called?" Virgil piped up. "Isn't this supposed to be your thing?"

"I operate his recognition and use of language, yes," he answered truthfully, "but understanding more than the contextual meaning behind a phrase via facial expression or body language or tone of voice doesn't typically fall to my expertise--"

"Then why are you even doing it?"

"Wh... It... Because it's my job."

He'd never had anyone ask him such a question before, and he wasn't sure there was a better way to answer it.

"And yet," Roman butted in, "you need us to explain what we mean forty times every episode for you to understand? If it's your job, shouldn't you already know how to do that?" He grumbled, crossing his arms. "It's not like I have to relearn how to write every time I have an idea, you know. I already know how to do it. So what's your problem?"

Logan stared. He...wasn't sure there was an adequate answer to that, either. Surely, there was a legitimate reason why pragmatic errors frequented his discussions with others, but if it really was his role to handle that on Thomas' behalf, why was he continuously struggling with it? Why had he not learned about it, held onto that knowledge, and then applied it when the situation arose, just as he had with near everything else?

Why was this different, especially when it so heavily affected his purpose to Thomas?

What was his problem?

Roman laughed.

"What? Cat got your tongue now?"

"...no?" Logan raised an eyebrow, confused. "I still have my tongue and there is no cat to--"

"Logan, seriously, just stop." Thomas held up a hand to stop him. He wasn't even looking at Logan as he spoke. "You're the one always lecturing us about learning stuff but then you don't even understand half of what we're saying unless we spell it out for you!"

Logan bit his lip, willing himself to understand.

"I don't think you'd need to spell anything out, Thomas. I simply ask that you clarify the meaning of--"

"For the love of God, Logan, this is exactly what we're talking about!" Thomas shouted, finally turning to look directly at him.

Logan paused. So this was more of the same, then.

"Ah."

It wasn't just that he was asking too often, it was the matter of his asking at all.

Roman rolled his eyes.

"Boy, and you call me stupid."

"I don't believe I've called you that," Logan responded calmly, then adding, "Today."

Even if it was harsh, at least when he had said that, he meant what he said.

After all, why would someone say something they didn't mean? Wouldn't they want to be understood? To be able to communicate effectively?

When he spoke, he wanted to not only be heard but for others to know what he was trying to convey. Using hidden context served little purpose, and only proved to create massive communication issues like this one.

Logan absently fiddled with the end of his tie.

The others were all looking at him disapprovingly.

He swallowed, but something in his throat felt tight, obstructed. His eyes seemed less focused, slightly blurring around the edges.

He tried to take a proper breath, but it came in shuddering and came back out shaky.

None of these were good signs, at least as far as seeming professional goes.

"Perhaps I have asked for clarification far too often for your liking." Logan paused, expecting to be cut off yet again. When the others didn't respond, he continued, "I merely wish to make sure we're communicating properly, that I'm not misunderstanding your--"

"We shouldn't have to explain it every time!"

And there it was.

Roman and Thomas both began yelling a number of things, but Logan just waited.

Everything they were saying... They were right. Something was definitely wrong here. Logan shouldn't be continuing to struggle if they've all done their part to explain their intention so many times. Why was he still in need of clarification, of assistance? Why hadn't he resolved this on his own already?

He would have to keep trying.

As it quieted down, he turned to Thomas, attempting to hold his gaze without trepidation.

"I... I'll keep trying, then."

"What, so you weren't trying before?" Thomas was so immediately outraged. "How long are we going to have to put up with this?"

"Logan, maybe you just need to try a different way of figuring it out." Patton offered, hands up, placating. "We all know you get stuck in your ways, so maybe just try it our way this time, yeah?"

But doing just that hadn't ended well at all last time. He couldn't have been the only one who remembered that, right? Last time, he was only left confused and ultimately misunderstood by the others when he tried it 'their way'. That couldn't possibly be the solution. No, there had to be something else.

"Well," Logan tried, "I don't know if that would--"

"He's right!" Roman cut in, sounding angry. "You don't even want to get it, do you? Is this an attention thing again??"

Roman moved his arms around in ways that failed to make sense to Logan at all.

"Oh no, Logan needs even more attention now so he has to pretend to be stupid to get even more camera time!"

Logan was completely confused at such a comment. That didn't seem like a fair judge of his conduct at all.

He grimaced,

"I... I would never pretend to--"

"L, it's fine if you're just doing it so you get to talk more," Virgil told him, leaning back casually on the staircase. "I get it, man, but this isn't the way, you know?"

Logan did not 'get it' like Virgil apparently did. Why would someone pretend to not understand something? Why not just be sincere, clarify their confusion so they can get the help they need? What purpose would it serve to lie about it?

"I just..." He wasn't sure how to explain to them that he wasn't pretending without knowing why they thought he was. "That's not... I wouldn't do that--"

"Oh, please." Roman scoffed.

Thomas sighed, putting his face in his hands.

"Logan, the excuses aren't helping, either."

He hadn't meant to bother Thomas with all of this. He was at a loss on what he could do to fix this mess, one he had apparently started all on his own.

He swallowed again, feeling heat begin to rise behind his eyes.

"A-apologies."

Thomas shoved his hands down at his sides. Logan may not have been the best with body language but he could certainly tell his choice to apologize had been the wrong one to make.

Thomas glared at him, something Logan realized he had started to see more often lately. Logan flinched without meaning to, and he couldn't even begin to understand the shiver that had gone through him or what it could possibly mean. His vision blurred.

He could just make out Thomas' expression as it twisted at Logan's knee-jerk reaction, and he suddenly shouted at Logan,

"Ugh, stop crying! Just do better!"

He really hadn't meant to have any overt reaction, but he'd been quite unprepared for this turn of events.

Where had they come up with the idea that he would lie about this? Was this his fault to begin with, for not putting in enough effort to understand, to learn, to improve?

Clearly they had a better understanding than he did, so perhaps they were right. Maybe he was capable of understanding and was simply choosing not to properly learn how to discern the difference in someone's words with how they speak them.

He reached up, removed his glasses, and wiped a palm across his eye, trying to stop the tears that kept flowing. He wasn't entirely sure when he had started crying, either, but now it didn't seem to want to stop.

Thomas was right. Logan had to do better. It was past time he did his job the right way by now, and in the way Thomas wanted above all else.

He put his glasses back on and turned to Thomas, ignoring the last tear escaping down his cheek as he spoke.

"I'll try."

One thing that I will never get over was the influx of people in the Sims community who actively rallyed against disabilities being included in the sims because it was "too sad"

Like jesus fucking christ

[bouncinghedgehog]

Stroke is the 5th leading cause of death and a leading cause of serious, long-term disability in the U.S. But it’s largely treatable if you act as soon as you recognize the symptoms:

👉 Face drooping

👉 Arm weakness

👉 Speech difficulty

📲 Time to call 911

i'm tired of trying to explain my needs to people (specifically family) like..my social battery is lower than yours accept that..don't get offended when I don't want to be trapped in your room for hours on hours talking its not that deep and its nothing against you

also like :

mom: why aren't you talking I'm talking to you /why are you mad (and long "talking to" for it)

me who explained being semi specking, that talking can often make me overwhelmed along with explaining my meltdowns can look like anger and trying to be forced to explain it while having said meltdown: 😒

like this is so stressful especially when I feel like..no one is listening especially when she goes "don't be like that" (about me having a meltdown that looks like just anger or even struggling to talk ) like..oh yeahh I 100% do it on purpose /sarcasm

I can 100% go from "oh yay lets talk!" to "please let me leavee, I can't talk anymore please don't make me"

[smoqueen]

*a guy you just beat at a major* why did you pwess when i was pwus fwames

[boughkeeper-dainsleif]

is "speech difficulty" existing term that not include "can force self speak but is difficult and may not make sense"? if speech difficulty include that, does also include when have episodes or only when all time? dain trying find term describe experience, not want misuse terms.

[bisexualmultifandommess]

If I see one more person using the way Eleven acts as a way to insult her or disregard her relationship or just her in general I’m going to scream.

Some antis (whether it’s for the ship or for El) actually talk about her as if she’s not even a person capable of feeling emotions or live a life. They seem to treat her as if she’s incapable of deciding things for herself.
