While non-speaking autistic people might be able to say a few words, the best most reliable communication they will have is AAC devices and typing on a keyboard.

I can see why this is such a precious memory to parents of non-speaking autistic kids but they must let their child have access to AAC devices and typing to communicate such as the videos from https://communication4all.org/
