This is great what you are doing alli. It’s great that you are not only doing it for yourself but for others that are going through the same. I’m very proud of your bravery and drive to educate people about this. God bless you and this channel. I hope that people can see this video/s and if they know someone that might have this, they now will know that it’s a real condition, and that they should try to understand and have compassion for someone with selective mutism.

What an informative video. I would like to know some source material you'd recommend to learn more on this subject. I can definitely relate to what you said about having difficulty with body language such as nodding, eye contact and even whispering. That fact being part of SM is something I didn't think would be the case! What was it that you said about 'not the sufferer' from (0:55 - 1:03)? I didn't understand that part. Thanks in advance. - Your fellow SM.

+Eliezer Martinez (i3e5l4) Thank you! Helping Your Child with Selective Mutism: Practical Steps to Overcome a Fear of Speaking (www.amazon.com/Helping-Your-Child-Selective-Mutism/dp/157224416X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1447886424&sr=8-1&keywords=selective+mutism+books) is a good book to read pretty much for anyone, not just for someone who has a child with SM. There is also quite a lot of information online. www.selectivemutismnetwork.org/#!what-is-sm/ct03 is a good site. Wikipedia actually has a lot of great info, from symptoms to treatment. If you search 'selective mutism' online a lot of sites with information come up. I said, "Anxiety completely controls the select situation as to whether a person can speak or not, not the sufferer."

Alli Noelle | That makes perfect sense, thank you. When people tell us to "snap out of it" they're clueless about what this doesn't mean; the sufferer doesn't choose to suffer. Thanks for the reply and the additional information Alli! :-]

+Deb Eardley Thank you! It is definitely a hard thing to deal with, but it is also possible to overcome. Never lose hope!
