My son Coops has a condition called Apraxia. It affects his speech and ability to use his tongue and mouth. At age 11 he is still unable to blow his nose or blow out his candles. But he can use a straw! Which is huge. Tonight he brought me a train whistle and so badly wanted to make the sound. Apraxia isn’t widely know but affects a lot of autistic individuals. #apraxia #childhoodapraxiaofspeech #autism #nonspeakingautism #thisautismlife | Finding Cooper's Voice
