Mother tattoos communication keyboard to assist non-verbal son

In Canada, Jessica Fletcher has tattooed a communication keyboard onto her forearm to assist her 11-year-old non-verbal son, Hunter, who has autism. The decision was made after Hunter's electronic communication device ran out of battery during a meal, prompting him to draw a makeshift keyboard on a napkin to express himself.

The tattoo includes letters, emojis, and specific phrases such as “yes”, “no”, and “I love you”. This method provides a reliable, silent, and discrete way for Hunter to communicate when technology fails. The story gained significant social media attention, leading to the development of apparel featuring keyboard prints on sleeves to help others interact with non-verbal children.
