Dr Temple Grandin is supporting the cause and she explained the idea well when she said:
“I can remember the frustration of not being able to talk. I knew what I wanted to say, but I could not get the words out, so I would just scream. People will have some idea of what this feels like when they take part in Communication Shutdown.”
No, they won't. They know they just have to wait a day and they know they chose to do it. Everyone knows what they're doing.
This is like saying that blindfolding yourself for a day lets you know what blindness is like. This is a dangerous publicity stunt that will not do us any good.
