Selective Mutism and Autism: A Personal Reflection

Let’s talk about two famous women who sound like they may have had selective mutism: Maya Angelou didn’t speak for years after trauma she said she thought her voice had caused harm. Rebel Wilson shared that she was extremely shy and barely spoke. Now, can I say for sure they had selective mutism? No. But their stories echo the experience so closely, many of us with SM recognize ourselves in them.#selectivemutism #mayangelou #rebelwilson #mentalhealthawareness #neurodivergentvoices
