There are many things about selective mutism that I wish were more commonly understood. Though some things can be researched online, the amount of writing and information on selective mutism is minimal, and unless you have gone through it yourself, it can understandably be very difficult to make sense of. With that being said, it can be easy to make tiny mistakes, with good intentions, around someone with selective mutism. Here is a list of the top 5 common mistakes, through my own experiences, that people make when interacting with someone who has selective mutism. Hopefully this list will help both the person with selective mutism and the person interacting with them a little more comfortable.
