Selective Mutism: The Child's Perspective

This episode is about the childhood social anxiety disorder called selective mutism, which I went through as a child. It focuses on the disorder from the child's perspective and gives insight into what the child may be thinking while going through the disorder. I share my story and also focus on SM facts such as the signs, causes, and treatment of the disorder. This is episode 1 of a three-episode series on selective mutism "History, despite its wrenching pain, cannot be unlived, but if faced with courage, need not be lived again." - Maya Angelou *For more information on selective mutism please visit the Selective Mutism Association (SMA) at www.selectivemutism.org.
