#selectivemutism — Public Fediverse posts

Ever since I read Wild of Brain, I've been thinking about the concept of "situational mutism". Anissa's preferred term for what's often called "selective mutism", and definitely mine now I'm aware of it.

The first run of the #CommCards are in!

I'm beyond excited to have the physical version available at last. There are some small issues with them (which I mentioned recently) but they'll be fixed for next time.

These initial ten are going to locals, but future runs will be on a grander scale. They'll be in the neighborhood of $30 with no alterations, and around $40 for customizations/extras.

As ever, let me know what y'all think!

A about two weeks ago, I posted about having made cards for a friend who experiences #SelectiveMutism (often called #Nonverbal, which I now understand to be inaccurate; thanks folks!) and asked if other #Neurodivergent folks would have interest in more.

After an incredible response, I set to work immediately on rebuilding the project to a much higher standard!

Have a look! 😀

Selective mutism doesn’t have to stand in the way of a university degree or a career, if you get the chances you need

Growing up, I struggled with "Selective Mutism," an anxiety response that caused me to go silent and mute for extended periods of time. It wasn't until I discovered my core values that I was able to overcome this challenge and find my voice.

What #AAC app do you recommend for #iPad?

I'm looking for something more aimed at #AutisticAdults and it needs to be either free or affordable, I was sad to see that #Proloquo2Go is over £200

I use #EESpeechBasic on my phone but it's definitely lacking
