This written interview is SO WELL DONE!! I am so happy that in-depth research is being done for my non-speaking autistic friends. It is definitely worth the read if you want to have a better understanding of autism, their intellectual ability, and challenges, specifically in the non-speaking community. The following link is a video, again worth the watch if you are curious about research being done that shows Letterboarding IS an effective way of communication for non-speakers even though "the powers that be" dismiss it as intellectual thought! As noted in the interview and video, using a letterboard, tablet or keyboard takes YEARS to master independently due to motor control challenges! My letterboarding friends, in which I coach, have been working very hard to get to the skill level of these non-speakers who are shown and discussed. Please do not judge a book by its cover or make assumptions about Autistic Intellect or Social ability. They are uniquely created individuals with A LOT to give!!
