Every autistic person communicates in our own way. Some autistic people need support to communicate, like Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC). AAC is a way to communicate without talking, like using a letter board or typing on an iPad. At ASAN, we will continue to advocate to make AAC available for anyone who needs it, and make sure that autistic people are supported to communicate in the way that works best for us.
