Has anybody heard of Selective Mutism?

i have it still and im 23. so it has nothing to do with autism, yet my aunties son is autistic, i think it is a little bit like the same thing, kinda shy to talk and feeling uncomfortable in the presence of other people.

you should take him to a psychologist, with me when i was about 14, they used to give me games to play, like football and little puzzles to try to relax me to talk, but it never worked. it might work for your son though, so you should try it.

Look in a phone book for Therapists and psychologists near by. Oh and that is a sign of Schizorprehnia and Autsim. I have heard of it before.

usually in response to psychological damage/trauma a person does not speak but is psysiologically capable of speech

hm i knew a girl from grades 2-6 who had it, she only spoke when she exploded with anger

look it up and take him to the doc
