Article Synopsis
- - Selective mutism (SM) is a psychiatric condition where children fail to speak in certain social situations, often due to anxiety, especially social anxiety, which is why it's classified as an anxiety disorder.
- - A study involving 172 preschool children found positive correlations between SM, social anxiety, autistic features, and behavioral inhibition (the tendency to withdraw in unfamiliar situations).
- - The results suggest that while social anxiety is a clear factor in SM, autism-related issues are also important, with behavioral inhibition being a crucial element in the non-speaking behavior of young children.
