Verbal shutdown = temporarily can't talk verbally/it's hard to talk verbally, could still write or type or physically communicate

Nonverbal = can't talk verbally ever, could still write or type or physically communicate

Non-communicative = cannot understand any communication ever. Cannot write, type, speak, or physically communicate. (There is a "refuses to" version of this but that sure sounds awful to imply, that version probably means something else.)

Terms being used correctly is very important for getting your needs taken care of without stepping on those who fall under a different term.

NOTE: I am not good at language and English is not my first language. I have aphasia. If someone has a better way to describe these terms, please reblog to make it more clear <3 GOOD FAITH responses only.

important that in practise , someone labelled nonverbal might have enough vocal control to say small selection of words , make precise noises , or even sing melodies . not all nonverbal people do , but possibility is there for some - important part is that lack severely or entirely in functional speech . not just that functional speech lapse from time to time , or that dislike speech . severe or complete lack .

so will not investigate anyone as " real nonverbal " or not , but will say that if self-refer as nonverbal , should not have any surprise if people read that as absolute minimum functional speech , even when that is not true about self . likewise , if people with absolute minimum functional speech suggest other words so that everyone can have spaces to fit specific needs , maybe take those suggestions .
