How I Went From Nonverbal to Verbal Autism?

It’s like going from being stuck in a quiet room to suddenly being able to talk and play with friends.

Imagine you're a kid who loves blocks, stacking them, knocking them down, feeling their rough edges. That's how you think: through touch, through play, not through words. You’re happy just building your own world, but sometimes it feels like no one can understand what you're trying to say.

One day, someone starts using a special kind of game, maybe a picture book or a board game with symbols that match the things you love. They show you how to point at pictures and make sounds. It's like learning a new way to play with your blocks: instead of just touching them, you can talk about them too.

Then comes the fun part! You start copying what they do, pointing at pictures, making sounds, then trying to say whole words. It’s like you're learning the rules of a new game, and every time you win, you feel more confident.

Soon, you’re not just playing with blocks anymore, you're talking about them, sharing your ideas, and even telling stories! And that's how you went from being nonverbal to verbal, like learning a whole new language through the things you love most.
