Ability

We know that typing for communication is real. We know that we are writing our real thoughts. We are more than capable of learning, and are highly intelligent. But we are also kept back from achieving our goals by this faulty system of communication which requires a trained CP to assist us. 


I am being held back in so many ways. I am watching my sisters do things that I could do too, if only I could talk. I am most acutely aware of my limitations, and my heart aches every day seeing them achieve what I cannot. What is really upsetting is knowing what you could do if only you had a better system of communication. 

We are so incredibly capable of doing amazing things. We are incredible at math and science, writing and matters of interest, like ethics. What we could do if only communication were easier and more independent! We are letting an amazing resource go to waste.
