(starts working on communication aid, 1 minute 50 second pause) “it
good show pictures”
okay that’s my favourite thing. I like looking at pictures, I love looking
at where people have been and stuff. Um do you um so it’s good to
show pictures and share things with people do you um.. one girl was
saying to me that she felt that sometimes people didn’t really
understand her under lying ability and that they didn’t give her time to
talk and to say things and she felt that because she was able to show
people what she thought on Facebook or using email cos she had more
time to get messages ready that she thought it showed people that they
had to give her more time to say things in face-to-face conversations.
What do you think, would you agree with that
‘no’ (shakes head)
no so it doesn’t seem to, you don’t feel that it makes much difference
that you can either tell people face-to-face or doing things online
doesn’t make much difference
‘no’ (shakes head)
okay, did you understand what I meant
‘yes’ (nods head)
yeah but that’s not something that’s important to you
‘no’ (shakes head)
okay, what do you think the main benefit of being online is, what do
you think the most important thing is
(1 minute, 10 second pause) “people understand me better in writing”
okay, so can I just check that I’ve understood that so you’re saying that
when you can write things down you can give people more information
and they can understand you better
yeah
so in a way it’s a little bit like the same thing that other girl I was
talking about she was trying.. I think she was trying to say the same
thing that by being able to write things down people can understand
her better and she can show people more. So do you think there is
something about time that is important
