I have #SelectiveMutism which is an anxiety / communication disorder. People will say that this mostly affects children. What I personally think happens is that the disorder changes and mutates rather than goes away.

Do you use dialog differently for certain characters?
Do some speak in shorter, choppier sentences? Use different grammar? Communicate non-verbally? Use multiple languages?

Yesterday I found out I got the job I really wanted. Apparently my interview was “brilliant”. As someone with #SelectiveMutism & the ex child-who-doesn’t-speak I am secretly overwhelmed. But it’s taken me till this morning to be overwhelmed because I also process emotions very slowly. #autistic 🤣

Verbal shutdown, temporary loss of speech. Some people might have selective/situational mutism. But still it’s not the same as being nonverbal. We should respect that and listen to every part of the spectrum.
