(6) I forgot to include Verbal Shutdown in this, its already a term tho　, but I'm going to explain how it differs from Non-Vocal
A verbal shutdown to me feels like all my ways of communication are taken, I can't read or write well during them.
But if im non-vocal i can, just can't talk.

They can also contradict each other like
4. I'm fully verbal right now but I prefer using my AAC
It's just what someone is most comfortable with in that situation
Anyways I think that's all I have (for now anyways)

Examples
1. Right now, I'm Non-Vocal and prefer to use Communication Cards to communicate.
2. I'm using my AAC device because I'm currently Low-Vocal.
3. Currently I'm High-Verbal so I prefer to use verbal communication to talk to you.

4. High-Vocal: Can speak, and feels the need to a lot.

Also these aren't meant to be like permanent states, but rather a shifting verbality
Anyways next would be then labeling the communication that feels most comfortable at that time.

3. Non-Vocal: Can't speak, not necessarily due to verbal shutdown

Note: I know that looks similar to nonverbal but non-vocal is just in that moment, but its different from a shutdown in that it doesn't feel like your shutting down, just no vocal ability.

-new terms that fit better. So here they are
1. Full-Vocal: When you can speak fully, no limits.
2. Low-Vocal: Can only speak in short sentences, phrases, whispering, echolalia, vocal stims, or requires prep (scripting or written words).
(2)

1. No verbal ability but no shutdown
2. Can speak, but not well/short sentences or words
3. Only sounds/vocal stims but no words

Those are the ones I can think of rn
Maybe they already exist idk
I'll try to come up with names tomorrow

-Offending nonverbal people. Like I know going nonverbal isn't a good phrase but verbal shutdown doesn't always fit either because it doesn't feel like a shutdown, just a state of being. So I'm going to write my experiences and then come up with names for them (2)

I got E6 Cyrene!!!!! Yayyyyyyyyyyy!!!!

This never really came up again until today. We were out shopping and I heard them both use the wrong pronouns so I asked them to use my preferred ones, and my dad refused harshly.
However I did notice my mom using the correct ones later one I the day so maybe I got one win? (3)

I also asked them to use They/Them for me as well. My mom is basically indifferent, and probably just forgot but my dad said he wasn't going to, when I asked why he said people forced him to use the right pronouns for someone and got called transphobic for accidentally using the wrong ones (2)

E5!!
