Non-speaking autistics are such an important part of the entire autistic community. We need to stop thinking that spoken word is the only valid form of communication. There's sign language, text, AAC devices, and so much more!

ALT A single panel comic for Auctober split into two images titled "Alternative Communication"
In the top left part of the image there's an image labeled "1." with the words "Sign Language" to the right. Honeydew holds their left hand against their chest with the palm open and facing up. Their right hand is held out with their hand open with the palm facing up.
In the bottom right part of the image there's an image labeled "2." with the words "Autism/Autistic" to the left. Honeydew's right hand moves in an arc to where their left hand and chest meet, with the thumb and fingers of the right hand meeting at a point.
