Mom tattoos keyboard on her arm so nonverbal son can always communicate with her
Reported byCTV News ↗·Sourced by Goodlede
Jessica Fletcher tattooed a QWERTY keyboard on her forearm to enable her nonverbal autistic son Hunter to communicate when his electronic device fails, after he was unable to order dinner when his speech device malfunctioned. The video showing Hunter typing 'splash pad' on her arm has received over 2 million likes, and local business Maritimer has partnered to create shirts with printed keyboards for other caregivers.
The tattoo is specific to Jessica and Hunter; the shirt partnership extends the concept but remains early-stage.
