I think I want to stop talking for a little bit, maybe a few days. Is this a bad idea? I feel like my life style can support a few days. Has anyone else tried this?

    You can stop talking for as long as you like. That does not make you a non-verbal autistic and should not be described as “going non-verbal”.

    A non-verbal autistic cannot talk. Important distinction.

    It is akin to saying you closed your eyes for a few days to “go blind”
