Hi, this might be a dumb question, but how do you feel about people using the term "nonverbal" for not being able to speak for an hour or two instead of something else? Some people are saying that people shouldn't use the word as it's offensive while others are saying that they should be able to use the words that doctors describe them as and I'm not sure about what's right to use anymore. Is there a better term to use instead? What are your thoughts on this? (I would also like to hear from others to get different perspectives.)

Hi there,

I want to say that these are the same thing, but I don’t believe so.

Nonverbal to me means that you can’t talk or can barely talk at all. So those who use ACC (Augmentative and alternative communication) devices and the like.

When it comes to people like me, you’re probably experiencing something called a shutdown. This is basically when you become mute triggered by sensory overload or emotional stimuli.

That probably doesn’t make sense, but I hope the article I found it from helps
