Hi everyone! I’m new here and really happy that there’s a place like this forum to come to. I’m a 32 year old female and I was diagnosed when I was 30. It’s been an uphill journey since, but very rewarding overall. It feels a bit like being on a long-distance phone call with the world, or being behind a glass screen where you can’t quite hear speech properly. Really keen to hear about your experiences, talk about details so I can learn more about the condition, and lend a digital ear to anyone who’d like one. Am also really interested in assistive technology and supports. It seems like there is a lot of exciting technology coming out at the moment such as speech-to-text and speech-to-sign translation apps, specialist hearing aids that can be adjusted from phones, and virtual / augmented reality for experiencing different social environments, and I think it could be an innovative time for support tools not just for those on the spectrum, but to augment all types of sensory abilities. Anyway, would love to hear from you. Thank you
Hello, welcome to the forum. Thanks for your intro. I have talkative days and non talkative days, and sadly today is one of the latter, I am not functioning too well, but I hope to see you around on other threads some time soon.
Hi Plectrum, thanks for your reply. I'm sorry to hear that today's not been a very good day. I can relate to the talkative / non-talkative days, I have varying speech ability depending on my energy levels and environment. I find it very curious and impressive that some people are capable of speech all the time and for all of the day! Wishing you a better day tomorrow.
