Selective mutism is a psychological symptom characterized by a persistent inability to speak in selected situations. Selective mutism is regarded as childhood anxiety disorder, but it can have lasting effects.
The main purpose of this blog is to share my memories of selective mutism in English.
In Japan some adult people who once suffered from selective mutism share their experiences online. I am no exception. I write my story at The Selective Mutism Journal and that gets good response. But it's Japanese only. So, I start this blog to share my memories with the world.
