Can you imagine having anxiety so deep that you're unable to speak? Really imagine... As a child, you need to use the restroom, or you've hurt yourself. Or, a teacher calls on you and your words get stuck or your senses disappear while the whole class stares and waits. As an adult, a person gets angry with you for something and your whole entire body freezes. You can't stand up for yourself. You can't use your voice.
In this inaugural episode, we (Carrie and ManMan) discuss a range of topics related to our experience being unable to speak as kids. Join us for how we discovered taiko as part of our non-verbal expression as a result of injury and aversion to traditional music learning styles.
We look forward to sharing our SM and Autistic experiences with you!
