Shout-out this stranger met for while recent, who saw we were AAC user and for whole time:
• made sure we not talked over in conversation
• stopped others from skip over us, and didn’t let them rush us either
• said any words AAC was say wrong verbally for us after we express frustration with that
• didn’t touch our device once or look at screen while using AAC (they were only person who didn’t)
• made sure we comfortable and accommodated whole time was with them
And don’t think any this was even big deal to them. This was first time they even saw AAC, but they still made sure were accommodated for it. Don’t think they realize how much meant to us, and it meant everything to us. To be include and supported so much by total stranger who we would never see again.
Gave us lot hope. Fact that there people like that out there. And wanted put all thoughts that couldn’t put into words when with person here.
Want other AAC users know that there people like that out there, and that there hope.
Edit: Notice this post a lot of people’s first time hear about AAC, want be clear that this person only start say words out loud for us after we made clear that that was something we okay with. Please don’t assume other AAC users want others correct words AAC pronounce different, because many don’t. Every AAC user different person with different preference, please don’t take ours as universal rule.

"Nothing can hurt us as long as we're together." ❤️💚
Hadn't drawn a proper forehead touch in ages! The warm and comfy clothes are a little bonus I felt like adding due to the cold season. ^-^

Know online aac community strongly dominated (is this right word?) by those who use for reason related autism, like us.
So, shout-out and much love to the aac users who use aac for reason unrelated to autism. Who maybe feel left out in many conversation about aac.
For those with other disabilities that affect speech. And for those who use for other reasons. Hope voices are heard in aac community.
