What is it like to be non-verbal and have autism?

 
Autism is a disorder that affects your ability to communicate and interact with the world. Being non-verbal as well as autistic compounds and exacorbates this difficulty.
 
 
Locked in

I can't reach you
Or tell you
All that I am
All that I know
You see me
Crying
Flailing
Trying to tell you
I am here...
 
 
 
In this blog we will detail the differnt types of assistive technologies that are available for non-verbal students that have autism. But before we do,  watch this video and keep in mind that we are talking about children, not just technology.
