More Suspect Speaking features another fifteen short short stories featuring people who have difficulty in spoken communication. People with aphasia.
[Aphasia is the loss of a previously held ability to speak or understand spoken or written language, due to disease or brain injury.]
Rather than a biography or an academic text, these stories reflect the everyday experience of people with aphasia, their supporters and carers. In these tales, they will see themselves or their loved ones.
The vocabulary of these stories are deliberately adult because aphasia doesn't diminish intellect.
More Suspect Speaking stories give a taste of what aphasiacs go through.
More of the frustrations and blessings of life with aphasia.
Every day.
Every conversation.
Each story (except the last one) has three versions: A, B and C.
The A version is people who have an effort or difficulty in reading. The sentences are compact, the layout is spacious, and descriptions are sparse - perfect for people recovering from the effects of aphasia.
The C versions are for people who can read ('recovered' aphasiacs?) or people with aphasia who enjoy being read to - by carers, family members, supporters.
Or, for non-aphasiacs, these stories contain an inkling of what people with aphasia deal with.
The B versions are in-between. For some people with aphasia, re-reading the stories in their recovery could be therapeutic.
In 2015, he suffered a hemiparesis, a middle cerebral artery territory infarct.
In a word, a stroke.
He collapsed, paralysed on his right side, and couldn't speak or write. The hospital intervention was rapid and his limbs were free but his speech was absent.
He had/has aphasia.
Aphasia is the loss of a previously held ability to articulate ideas or comprehend spoken or written language, resulting from damage to the brain caused by injury or disease in this case, a stroke.
With expert therapists in speech, music and eurhythmy he has re-invented himself. He has a positive and optimistic outlook, electing to view his stroke as a 'stroke of luck'. But his speech is still suspect.
"My aphasia forced me to look at my life differently. My expected biography has changed. Now, I am an author apparently."
