you wouldn't think this from my post frequency lol, but I deal with situational mutism. I'm not shy, but sometimes I literally cannot speak. it's hard to make new friends when they think you don't actually like them because you can't talk 😅 #situationalmutism #selectivemutism

I think I have pretty good social skills but it may be "I have a system for my socks" kind of situation if you know what I mean. #selectiveMutism #NeuroAtypical

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.

My son has a 504 plan with his school for #SelectiveMutism
Losing the Department of Education will be devastating for children with learning disabilities.

I am the parent of three successful adults that started out one with ADHD, one with a developmental language delay, and one with dyslexia.

All were very capable learners; IEP made it possible.
7.5 million students with disabilities could lose their IEP and it's not even a news story 👁️👁️

Also, Dalia sometimes goes #mute & will either communicate in {American sign language,} or use an app on her phone to speak for her, depending on if those she's communicating with know #ASL or not. (Dalia is #autistic.) Her whole family knows ASL.

Tell me more about your #AwesomeCharacters

Technical question!

Do you use dialog differently for certain characters?

Do some speak in shorter, choppier sentences? Use different grammar? Communicate non-verbally? Use multiple languages?

It does very much feel like this sometimes. My #neurocomplexity is evolving alongside of me & it has been increasingly challenging in many ways. Are you struggling with this too? […] If so, I see you! - Dina 💫 | I AM Presence Awakener. #selectivemutism #autism #interconnection #multidimensionality

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 🤣

💬 October is Selective Mutism Awareness Month 💙
Some children can talk at home but go silent at school — not from shyness, but anxiety. With patience & the right support, they can find their voice.

Very proud of my 10yr old today. She has #SelectiveMutism. We & school have done lots of work with her for the past 5 years on behavioural coping strategies.

Today, she applied for House Captain, stood up and gave a speech in front of 100 peers and teachers.

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.
