Why Can't She Talk? - Nonverbal Autism

I hope I did a good job of explaining what I know about nonverbal autism. I hate voiceovers lol. Abigail is fully capable of communication but apraxia of speech is the reason she has never spoken. That doesn't mean she will never speak however so we continue to work on it with her. Most of our focus is providing her with the tools she needs to communicate because communication is her key to the world. If you have any questions about comorbidities, nonverbal autism, or whatever let me know. We can chat about it in the comments. That's what we are here for.

I used to work in a classroom of 3-5 year olds, we had a little boy who is non verbal autistic. We taught him to do “I love you” just like that. Now he knows how to say it and it made his parents cry they were so happy

Sweet girl. I love this. She probably knows so much more than she can express.

I have Autism myself and it's really interesting to see other people that have Autism because it helps to know how to help others and I love learning new things and love helping others

[karensantos]

I remember the vlog where She said “Ok” clear as day. I got so excited thinking it could be a beginning. 💗. Thanks for sharing all your info.

I'm so glad you're teaching her to love and utilise technology as opposed to avoiding and even fearing it. So many parents of neurodiverse children tend to steer their kids away from technology thinking it will make their symptoms better, but in reality, it can be such a valuable tool and really improve someone's quality of life if utilised properly.

Remember there is a HIGHLY intelligent human being inside that body. I can’t wait to see her Excel at life ❤ I have autism/dyslexia I understand how hard it is to be inside a body that’s directionally difficult. You are amazing kiddo very proud 😢

My brother is 24 and has autism and is non verbal. Some of the most amazing humans to walk the earth. We truly have a lot to learn from people with special needs

Non verbal people really do teach us that 90% of communication is non verbal. I think Talking makes us lazy to this. My son really taught me a lot on this when he was at the non verbal stage. He does talk extremely well now

My sister has autism... she can talk, but she gets lost in speech and can't pronounce things clearly and sometimes makes up words...

I have a nonverbal autistic granddaughter but without her doing sign language without her talking one word I know exactly what she wants I've been with her since day one my granddaughter and I have our own language without words without sound language

[joshbelter]

I can totally relate to her I used to be nonverbal I am autistic I am only verbal now because I was put into occupational therapy when I was 7 and because of that it has helped me communicate so much better

[Eli-s.Corner]

I wanna be her friend, I have Autism and i'm also non verbal. I try talk and i can talk for a short while but then i cant.

Our 7 year old daughter is so so so like Abbey. I mean literally almost the exact same. Same movements, same sounds, same expressions. You start to feel like you’re alone in raising a nonverbal child, but your videos help me see that we’re not alone, and that little connection is really special.

[joylapine]

I can’t help but worry what happens to children like Abigail when they grow up and their parents are no longer here. 😢
I don’t see a solution.

[lucyii]

You guys are such kind and loving parents. It's so refreshing to watch Abbey being so connected. I love you guys so much!!!

I have autism but mines low on the spectrum, I was mute for 10 years and I haven’t been speaking for that long but I’m great full to my school for helping me with it, I used a tablet to speak and sigh language.

[OurLANDingCrew]

This was a great video! Liam struggles with sign because of focus, muscle control, etc so it was interesting to see she kind of modified to signs! I can't get over how big she is!

[sugeyramirez]

God blessed the people taking care of her.

[tupacswife]

My daughter only watches the first 3 seconds of shows and rewinds it over n over, knowing your daughter does this as well makes me feel better, thank you ❤

[marianaamoedo]

When you tell her you're proud of her and she does that sweet smile my heart exploded. I'm working on communication with my almost two year old and must tell you I admire the work you do with her. It takes patience, love and effort, maybe some frustration tears but it's worth it. She's great.
