new person with speech problems

hi 

im 19 and only recently diagnosed with autism which kind of sucks because i didnt get help in school or college

i have speech problems (i cant talk except little bits with some of my friends) does anyone have any advice with other ways to talk? ive been writing notes and kinda making up my own sign language but only my mum and one of my brothers really understand that properly and even then they dont get what i try to say lots of the time so its kind of hard when i have nothing to write on somewhere

  • misskittycat, thank you! im getting a bit more help from my family but because were not really sure where to go for help and support, weve not very far with that yet. though my mums signed me up for a few support groups to help with social stuff which should help, i hope!

    im not in education right now because i dont have the confidence, and yeah, i already get money for my disablities but thank you for the advice!

    i think the cards thing is a good idea too, so ill try that and search online for more sites as well as this one c:

    longman, i think thats a really good idea! itd help alot more than just kinda miming stuff out, and because alot of people cant really read my handwriting. ill definitely try that! thank you!
