This is a hugely important study for non speaking autistic children and adults. Professionals need to listen and presume competence and not underestimate what many of us know is expected literacy! Thanks for your work!!! eurekalert.org/news-releases/…

@Kpk3P Presume competence - always.
@Kpk3P Yes. Even those of us who are semi-speaking may know how often we are treated like two year olds by some fellow professionals. One cannot imagine how much worse it is for nonspeaking individuals who have not had good communication enabled.
@Kpk3P @DoctorsAutistic This is an awesome study - bursts a myth about nonspeaking Autistics
