A GIRL'S HEART

BY KAITLIN FLAHERTY

Almost all nonspeakers are male. Here at M2H, I am in a poetry club:  me and five guys. I am in a book club:  me and four guys. I am in a math club…me and a bunch of guys. There are only a handful of girls here, amid a sea of boys. This place is swimming in testosterone. I am thankful that so many of these men are my friends. And of course I have the best boyfriend on earth. But there are differences in the perspectives of men and women. As a nonspeaking woman, I have experiences and thoughts that are only feminine in nature. 


Of course there are many things in common among us nonspeakers. But in this blog, I’ll talk from my girl’s heart.

Communication Partner Musing

Belief in us makes it possible for us to overcome our dyspraxia. You have to wonder why that is. So many people think that spelling isn’t real because we need communication partners. Basically, I cannot talk at all to my father and only somewhat to my mother. It’s hard  to talk to my siblings and super easy to talk to Judy. There are a few people I can talk to as well, like my friend, Amanda. Let me say that I am utterly confused that I struggle to talk to my mother. I have to try to get myself to relax. Maybe it really is the job of the CP to help us relax. Hopefully someday soon research will show why CPs are necessary, and why some people are great CPs and some are not.
