SPEAKING IS HARD FOR ME. I CAN'T SPEAK THE WORDS THAT ARE IN MY HEAD THROUGH MY MOUTH. INSTEAD JIBBERISH AND STIM WORDS COME OUT. I CAN SEE EVERYONE ELSE TALK WITH THEIR MOUTHS WITH NO DIFFICULTY. I AM ENVIOUS. I FEEL SO STUCK WITH WORDS ALL THE TIME.
CAN YOU IMAGINE NOT BEING ABLE TO TALK WITH YOUR MOUTH? IT SEEMS LIKE A PRISON.
I TALK WITH MY HAND. I SPELL LETTER BY LETTER. IT IS TIME CONSUMING BUT I HAVE A VOICE. I DIDN'T HAVE A VOICE FOR SEVEN YEARS. I AM GRATEFUL FOR MY HAND VOICE.
MY MOM HAS BEEN PRACTICING WITH ME PRONOUNCING LETTERS AND WORDS. I FEEL HOPEFUL THAT MAYBE ONE DAY THAT I COULD SPEAK WITH MY MOUTH THE WORDS THAT ARE IN MY HEAD. I BELIEVE IN MYSELF.
