How do you get an education when you cannot speak, and the school system cannot understand your abilities or support your needs? This was the experience of Ben Breaux, a 22-year-old nonspeaking autistic man with epilepsy who uses a letterboard and a text-to-speech app on his iPad to communicate.

Ben writes and advocates for disability rights and more on his public Facebook Page, for numerous autism advocacy groups worldwide, and on advocacy boards and committees in his home state of Virginia and nationally.

On this episode, Ben tells me about his fight to get an academic education, what inspired him to become a writer and advocate, and his advice for nonspeaking people and their families.
