somefriendlyadvice:danipup:instructor144:batssystem:just-my-autistic-ass:sweetandsavageautistic:thathumanwiththecatears:kuroba101:sweet-and-tender:lesbiandana:hello! I don’t know if anyone has already made a post about this before, but I just stumbled upon this app made specifically for when you’ve gone into a nonverbal anxiety attack!!!it was made by Jeroen De Busser who is an autistic computer science student.the app is really easy to use! all you do is open it and hand your phone to someone you need to communicate with during an attack but physically cannot, and it shows this cool little alert for the person to read, and then it takes them to an easy to use chat (that looks a lot like texting! except both of you are communicating using the same device). the alert message is completely customizable and you can have it say whatever you need! the app is called Emergency Chat and it’s available in the Apple Store and google play store. I highly recommend it to anyone who might need it :)OH MY GOD?!?!?? BOOSTThat’s so bootiful!thank you so much for this because i never know what to do when i cant talk to people and they just start trying to ask me questions and its really hard to force myself to say i cant talk and stuff. im definately getting this right nowWHAT? Also this app can be used for WAY more than nonverbal meltdowns! Its great for all sorts of things. Of you’re deaf, have asthma, dissociation, panic attacks, if you’re mute, if you have any other medical or mental problems that make verbal communication difficult or imposible!Sometimes I go semi-verbal and I’m definitely going to download this app to use for when tht happens. This is an amazing idea! Wish I had heard of it sooner.as a semiverbal autistic……. this app is BLESSEDBOOST.there have been different (harrowing) times in my life when i could have used this, and this is my first time seeing it, but i will always reblog.@thebibliosphere I feel like this may be useful when you have bad throat days.Ok! I’ve seen this app (and some others) mentioned before, I have a few friends who actually use this one and swear by it but I just never downloaded it for myself because of a bunch of internalized ableism I apparently still have but was working hard on pretending didn’t exist anymoreI’ve had at least three or four nonverbal episodes with shutdowns in the past month and honestly, it’s about time. I officially have an AAC app on my phone. And that’s ok. -- source link
