About This Group
Selective mutism is an anxiety disorder in which a person who is otherwise capable of speech becomes unable to speak when exposed to specific situations‚ specific places‚ or to specific people‚ one or multiple of which serving as triggers. This is caused by the freeze response. Selective mutism usually co-exists with social anxiety disorder.
---
To meet DSM-5 criteria for selective mutism‚ one must exhibit the following

-Consistent failure to speak in specific social situations (in which there is an expectation for speaking‚ e.g.‚ at school) despite speaking in other situations.
-The disturbance interferes with educational or occupational achievement or with social communication.
-The duration of the disturbance is at least 1 month (not limited to the first month of school).
-The failure to speak is not due to a lack of knowledge of the spoken language required in the social situation.
-The disturbance is not better accounted for by a communication disorder (e.g.‚ childhood-onset fluency disorder) and does not occur exclusively in people with autism spectrum disorders or psychotic disorders such as schizophrenia.
