"I'd like coffee, please." "No. I don't believe you. How do I know it is really you who wants coffee and not your friend there subliminally transmitting that to you by touching your shoulder?" Imagine a world where you had to prove you knew your own mind even to get a cup of coffee, where it was generally assumed that you could have no thoughts of your own, so if you did express your thoughts, it must be some trick. What would you do? Would you give up, or demand to be heard? Sadly, this world is not imaginary for many of the writers in this book, who have chosen the path of demanding to be heard. Their best (and sometimes only) mode of communication is sometimes called "discredited" because it was "tested" in ways that make no sense.
Typed Words, Loud Voices is written by a coalition of writers who type to talk and believe it is neither logical nor fair that some people should be expected to prove themselves every time they have something to say. Read our arguments and hear us. Help us change the world. "Getting your attention that I want to "voice" something is my first challenge. ... However, if you calm your leap to judge, you may find that since we know we take more effort to "listen" to, we make sure you "hear" something memorable..." - Devva Kasnitz, PhD. CUNY-Disability Studies
"This groundbreaking book is a must read for anyone who truly cares about equality and it gives you a new perspective about what it means to have a 'voice'." - Matthew Wangeman, MCP. NAU - Disability Studies
"Ibby, Amy, and the other authors here speak from the heart, because they live it, all day, every day. I've learned from them in ways that can't be measured over the past couple of years - their words and thinking have literally changed my life. They'll change yours, too. Read this, now." - Phil Smith, Professor, Eastern Michigan University

This amazing book is for anyone who wants to learn more and understand those of us who do not speak, have partial access to spoken language, or communicate in other nonstandard ways. There are 55 contributors. Four writers of front material and a foreword by Melanie Yergeau provide additional important ideas and information.I have an essay in the book and inadvertently left out the link that goes to a video I made when I could not speak. Since Amazon does not permit URLs, please go to YouTube and do a search on "Nonspeaking (at Times) Autistic Makes Video." That will let you view the video I discuss in the essay.

Typed Words Loud Voices eBook Various Amy Sequenzia Elizabeth Grace Reviews
This is a book that should be read by every human being. It would help make the Autistic Community to be better understood, and allow them to be included more. What a blessing the Facilitated Communication is for them, making it possible for them to communicate, be accepted and loved. They are brilliant individuals who need to express themselves. They have hopes and dreams just like the rest of us do. I hope it will be a BEST SELLER.
Thank you for giving me an opportunity to express my concern for these brilliant folks. Evelyn Zuberbier
Brilliant book, and it should be required reading by every human being.
Excellent! Lovely to read the words of autistic adults and youth, the real experts on what it is like to be autistic.
Amy Sequenzia rocks! If you are unfamiliar with her work, you need to change that. Like today. This is a compilation of essays written by non-speaking people. If you are one of those poor misguided souls who believe that non-speaking people need you to be "their voice" or that they can't communicate, or if you are one of those people who like to use functioning labels, you need to familiarize your self with Amy's work. Like yesterday. Seriously. She blogs at nonspeaking autistic speaking, ollibean, and does guest blogs for Autism Women's Network. Her work is also featured in many other books & she has written a book of poetry.
I wrote a full review on my blog http//kpaginatedthoughts.blogspot.com/2015/05/typed-words-loud-voices-review.html
Anyhow, the main gist is that this book needs to be read and shared. It was written by a global autistic and disabled community. It's put together beautifully and all the words mean something, as words do. Everyone's voices mean something.
The book's main goal is to correct the impression that people who use Facilitated Communication, or other types of communication, have no voices and no thoughts.
I would especially recommend it if you fall into a category of not believing disabled people's experiences and words.
