I can actually relate to most of this list, though I don’t call myself semiverbal (this is not to say that others who relate to this aren’t allowed to call themselves semiverbal) (if that makes sense) (I’m just not sure if I can consider myself semiverbal)

(I’m not sure where I fall on the verbal? scale?)

what semiverbal looks like for me:

going entire days without talking except for a few words and not noticing

going entire days saying maybe one word answers

communicating primarily through text and typing the majority of the time if i can get away with it

forgetting how to physically speak sometimes. i will know what words to say but mouth won't be able to do it

words getting mashed up and slurred together for no reason

communicating in scripts and preplanned words

if no script prepared, it's extremely difficult to come up with coherent words on the spot

constantly saying the wrong words and nothing like what i meant to say

always having to have somebody else go with places in case of needing to speak, so they can talk for me

blanking out on words and just not responding to people, sometimes walking away because too much pressure to speak

having to have someone else make phone calls for me, anything that involves a phone call i can't do

keeping like 3-4 aac methods on me at all times but still being scared to use them because that means communicating, why not just point at stuff instead

echolalia

stealthy echolalia

Why can’t I be as good at the college thing as I was at the high school thing

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)

🤸 Welcome to marine facts with Bagel: part 3

Unlike us humans whose hearts accelerate when we panic or get scared a narwhal's heart does the opposite and slows down. When panicked narwhals can essentially become so scared that their heart slows down enough to the point that it stops. When scientists are trying to help narwhals that are stuck under ice they have to be extra careful because of the consequences scaring a narwal has.

Welp changed my profile picture

Might change it again in the future

Or not

Who knows? 🤷

Trying to figure out what I want my profile pic for this site to be is a lot harder than I thought it would be

Might just rotate(?) between different pictures

Wanting to show y’all one of my personalized AAC boards

Less options (?) make it less overwhelming

Sorry about the coming overload(?) of pictures

Includes what some(?) of them say in full

Thought I should clear things up and say that this “no clinical evidence of connective tissue disorder” is only on my most recent exam thingy

So every now and again I look over a note thing (idk) that my cardiologist sent to my primary physician (yes I do have access to this) and towards the bottom of the note he lists a thing of diagnoses and in that list is in his words: “No clinical evidence of connective tissue disorder”

What does that even mean??? Like I’m pretty sure I don’t have a connective tissue disorder and I’m taking “no clinical evidence of connective tissue disorder” to be indicative of that, but what was the point of putting it under “Diagnoses”?

This doesn’t necessarily require/need any answer. Really I just felt like venting(?) out my confusion of this phrasing(?), but if you happen to know and wish to answer my inquiries go ahead
