对，不管是写给我们啊，或是你就把这个你听完这集的心得用英文贴在你的这个社群上也都很好。

是，没错。因为我们 input 之外就是要做 output，那这个 output 呢可以是 through writing，through speaking 或 through online chatting。所以看你，我非常提倡大家呢，不要单一地听，哦光听这样子去——呃只是锻炼听力，其实要慢慢地一步步到可以说或可以应用的阶层哦。好，那我们谢谢 Wilson 的来信，然后我们欢迎 Wilson 继续来信啦。因为我也针对这几个 topic 呢，然后给 Wilson 写了一个 email feedback。所以 Wilson，I hope you enjoyed my email there。Right，let's move on to the news recap。

Today we're diving into how music, AAC tools, and innovative home products come together to support non-speaking autistic youth and reshape how we think about communication.
