A lot of the PECS card style pictures are also weird for me.  I could more easily type it out or draw my own frigging pictures.  The stick figures never seem to capture the movement or color or weight or relationship that makes the thing what it *is*.  I kind of admire the people who can use them.

And wonder how many other people can’t, and maybe worry a little if that’s all they’re given.

That’s true for me although weirdly enough the PCS pictures do help me anyway just by breaking up the text so my head doesn’t explode. So I use them but would love better. Can’t make better myself. Tried. Wish I could do it with my painting. But when is the last time you saw me able to paint.
