Emojis

i do like weird mmmmmm whines, i’ve learned not to do it around anyone but my boyfriend because it’s annoying. sometimes he does it back to me to make me feel more comfortable :)

I like to just type it out then have them read it when I'm done.

I've confused one of my physical therapists by simply pointing at something I needed. The something was the body armor drink I had brought that day. I ended up having to talk, but it wasn't much.

sign language! :) i took it all throughout hs for it and my bf loves learning it to talk to me sometimes :)

I like to use my head nods some times but mostly strange faces... My husband has learned very quickly it's simpler to just ask yes or no questions 🤣

Animal noises like little meows to indicate my mood. Sounds weird but it’s so much easier than finding the emotion words I need

I do grabby hands when I want something (to my friends lol) or I'll like slightly whine about stuff I don't want to do

ASL! I've only started learning it recently. My bf is fluent, so he teaches me. It's a total game changer for when I'm really overwhelmed. I am capable of talking, but it's like it uses 80% of my energy instead of 10%. So when I have to talk it just makes everything worse. I couldn't even BELIEVE the relief the first time I knew enough ASL to sign to my bf when I was overwhelmed. Eager to learn more!! Maybe a summer project :)

I like pointing to things, or pulling someone toward something; and if it’s necessary, I find mirroring what I need help with to be intuitive. But I love writing so much more than talking, and gifs/emojis when words aren’t coming.

I often talk in gifs

Hissing like a cat

I type in my phone notepad and show the person I want to talk to.

I'm starting to learn ASL, and communicate a lot through texting or writing things down. I usually don't struggle speaking, but I have a hard time hearing people sometimes and people have a hard time understanding me sometimes

The American sign language sign for jelly fish is an absolutely delightful stim

Pointing at things or typing on a keyboard

I do nodding, shaking my head, and pointing.

gifs !!!

I like to use the little bit of asl I know

blinking when irl and reaction images online

i use oneword answers connected with a lot of ''mmmm'' or excessive head shaking /nodding
