Disabled And Here

Nonverbal communication on a date

A young autistic couple uses nonverbal communication on their picnic park date. On the left, the Black woman sits on her stomach and writes on a pink sticky note pad. On the right, the non-binary Asian person writes on a black sticky note pad. The couple has coordinated outfits, with the woman in lavender, white, and pastel pink, while the non-binary person is in shades of pink.
