- This powerful and moving film shows how individuals living with Aphasia have overcome their disabilities to share their stories and tips on living with Aphasia with other people affected by stroke. Members of Speakability groups and ‘Connect - the communication disability network’ work together to deliver a workshop at the UK Stroke Assembly 2015.

I suffered to a burst AVM in 1985. It was a year until I could process verbal sentences. Over the years, I have noticed that aphasia, is a gift not a disability if you observe the society that we a living in. Before city life even began, we humans lived of the land, who had little verbal language, we had intuition and natural skills. Today everything is leaning heavily of technology, time and verbal information. I made a dicision to leave this matrix 6 years ago and I created my own identity as a living man with Wernicke aphasia and no corporation can verbally contract with me, not can I process State documents. I created my own life, where everything must be written on simple terms that suits me. I live by Common Law and the Commandments, which is superior to the Government which is a corporation. In my spiritual way, God gave me aphasia, to go back to nature and live the way we are supposed to. I have no disabilities at all, when living on my own terms.
I haven't had a stroke, I had a seizure forty years ago and have suffered with anomic aphasia ever since. While my speech improved outright my memory of names has been hard to get along with because as things have become new, films and film stars, new singers and songs etc. I don't know who they are. I remember the old ones now but the last forty years are strange to me. Everything that has come out new is too difficult for me to put a handle on. New cars, you name it, I can't.
At the same time, I had no help when it happened to me as my doctor back then decided it was just the medication I was on that was causing my memory problem and ignored my complaints. I live in Australia so help back then was and still is hard to find.
Thanks to the lady who asked if anyone has trouble recognizing people. That's me all over. A woman came running over to me one day, arms out screaming that she hadn't seen me in ages. Then she saw to look of horror on my face and said; " You don't know me" I was so embarrassed but it was too late.
Thank you for sharing
You people are wonderful. You're really lucky to be able to talk to each other and help each other out. Keep up the good work. 😍😘
Great presentations
Inspiring and some great tips. Thanks for all the efforts ! Stroke Support India is making efforts to help the aphasia affected with regular talks and sessions. Join in ! Any who can help is welcome too !
Oh, every time someone speaks it's ringing bells all over the place. I try to keep to myself most of the time but interacting with people, calling them "luv" or "darling" because they don't have a name I can remember. I find these comments so scary even after forty years.
It’s a bad situation for people with aphasia
