[QUOTE="jasz1971, post: 237541, member: 6709"] As far as my selective mutism, I "muddled through" as you put it. I hated school and had a very, very hard time (I slowly started talking more and more as time went on). There was no awareness of Selective Mutism at that time and still today many doctors and psychologists are not familiar with this condition. Things started to get easier for me once I started college. I still have social anxiety. I function well and cover it up but still struggle at times. Very rarely the selective mutism comes back when I'm extremely scared or upset. For example, I had a procedure done at my doctor's office last year and became so anxious that I couldn't talk for about 20 min. The doctor had no idea what was wrong with me. It was so embarassing! Like I said this is something that rarely happens. I'm hoping that since my daughter is in treatment life will be easier for her. [/QUOTE]
