The Revolution

As I was sitting here with Judy today, she got a text from one of her moms who sits on the New Jersey chapter for the National Council for Severe Autism. They are making a petition, hopefully, to get the national council to take down the anti-typing statement from their website. If that happens, that would be a huge victory for us. 


People are starting to really fight with schools and government agencies to get spelling accepted. Perhaps I am overly optimistic, but I believe we are making huge strides. Since my first day of learning to type years ago, hundreds, if not thousands, of nonspeakers are typing now. And people are switching sides and becoming believers at an accelerating rate. I am particularly excited about all this, because the people are important, many of them. 

We are witnessing a revolution, folks. We need to change our hashtag from “let the revolution begin” to “the revolution has begun.”
