Octavia Butler wrote the stories; The Morning the Evening and the Night and Speech Sound both having to deal with illness and distraction of life. In the first stories we see these people who have caught this illness being treated like absolute crazies. The second story we got a glimpse of what life might be like if we either lost our ability to speak and understand language or the ability to read and write.
In both of these stories we see Butler comparing these to real life events and problems that we have in our world. Butler seems to be trying to show us that diseases can be overcome with faith and hope. If we continue to run away from problems and people with "issues" then the problems in the world will never be fixed and overcome. Like in Speech Sounds , if we learn to talk about our problems then things could be resolved faster then if we don't talk.
