Verbalflux/scribalflux NOT mean someone change verbal/scribal states

Being nonverbal, being nonscribal, is permanent state

Example, have speech loss episode not mean "go nonverbal", one not able temporary enter permanent state

Verbalflux/scribalflux mean ability change, ability speak fluctuates, ability write/understand words fluctuates

It is permanent state of fluidity, NOT "sometimes I verbal/scribal, sometimes I nonverbal/nonscribal" - it harmful to claim to have experience not have, harmful to say you non-xyz when you not

Foxy scribalflux

Foxy have fluctuate ability to write/type coherently

Foxy NOT "semiscribal/nonscribal sometimes", Foxy only unable to write/type clear sometimes - it is different, even if sound similar

Different level/state

Because Foxy not 24/7 permanent state of ability to write, Foxy not that permanent state (ie scribal or nonscribal ect)

Please remember and respect people of permanent state

That fluid is state in and of self, that it not mean temporarily becoming different states

We consider ourselves scribalflux, as our ability to write changes (depending on how scrambled our thoughts are)

Why do you use the AAC app(s) you use?

Start with Weave Chat for free, move to Coughdrop for easy board build, to Speech Assistant .

Most important is ability build boards from scratch, organize. Preset board not work for us

Fox is a fox

Adding AAC board for alterhuman though, feel strange

Have hard time doing it

Because alterhuman wide umbrella, and things popular among other is not Foxy experience

Foxy foxness is psychological and physical - knows many believe only spiritual valid, that physical is always unhealthy delusions (which is not true)

Foxy not experience shifts

Foxy like gear, but can't do quadrobics (physically disabled)

Make feel like

Is a fox

But not feel like part of community

Relevent here too because Foxy bark

Foxy communicate by barks when not able speak

Is so part of identify and sense of self

If you could be verbal, would you?

I don't think so? We grew up verbal, and while losing speech is scary, it's given us a new perspective that we do appreciate

Maybe make more later, but good for now

Not for others' use, is made by Foxy FOR Foxy

Foxy mother brought Foxy her tablet for use for AAC - she not use it and give to Foxy

Foxy use phone for AAC with her during dinner, was happy not judge Foxy

Usually 50/50 whether Foxy mother accept Foxy disability or judge Foxy for it, was very happy was accept Foxy

Still need finish set up tablet, but happy

Hopes case do well, can bring-use easier

Foxy mother know Foxy psychotic, is why need speak help

Grateful she trying to accommodate, even if not always do right

When did you start using AAC?

We've only "recently" started using AAC? About half a year now

Text :

Do you use AAC in public?

We use it mostly at home, as we don't go out much, but when we do, we do use AAC (high tech)

Text :

How many sets of communication cards do you have? When do you use which?

We have two so far, but are making more. One is collective, one is a little's, ect.

We like to use them depending on who's fronting, but want event cards too (ie faires, ect)
