APHASIA CARTOONS:

My experience with aphasia

Imagine becoming a prisoner in your own mind and never having the ability to fully express yourself.

Trouble Reading

It’s hard to make a date when you have no words…or maybe not.

Other people’s reactions

Most people don't know its name, or how to react when they meet it.

No, well, urn, no, yes, you know... I don’t understand… How do we include people who have aphasia? ? We need to build “conversation ramps”.

Aphasia is intimidating. Especially if you are the size of a biker, weighing 220 pounds! However, if they would only take a moment to actually read the message they might understand and be less uncomfortable.

I understand what’s being said to me, but most people start talking to me as if I’m hearing impaired.

“You’re stifling your feelings.”

Coping with aphasia

Sometimes we need to use gestures. Help us out…guess!

Aphasia & Communication Inability to talk on the Phone can lead to loneliness. Ability to use the Computer for means I have words again.

Can not multi task must focus on one task at a time.

This is not what I would have chosen for myself, but I am not the one to decide: the stroke decided. Most of the time, I make goals, I meet them, I move forward, but I now have a built-in forgetter. My mind is like a Home Depot store. Everything is in there, I just can't find it.

RECOVERY TIME… You will see progress!

Part of the serenity prayer…. It’s what keeps me going…God, grant the serenity for the things that I cannot change (Can’t change the fact that I have Aphasia and that some people will prejudge me.) The courage to change the things I can (my attitude, and how I CHOOSE to react to it.)
