The term 'situational mutism' is being used for two very different things — and some young people are getting the wrong support as a result.
We explain the difference between selective mutism and reactive mutism in our new position paper.

Unfortunately family life was very difficult for me. I didn't just mask at school, but I had to mask at home too.
I haven't really talked about family life before because it used to be too hard to talk about, but this changed recently.
There is nothing more special than having a job that makes you genuinely happy, where you can work alongside the most incredible team of people ❤

We did it!
£1,609 has been raised which is incredible - thank you so much for the support.
I aimed for sub 2 hours and had an official time of 1:59:27 😎
This means we can do so much more to ensure autistic young people get the support they deserve.

We have been dreaming about it for years and last week it finally happened. We have a home ❤
⭐ On Monday last week we ran the first of many youth clubs at the centre.
⭐ On Wednesday last week we started our Autism Understood face to face sessions for young people.

Autistic young people regularly report receiving the wrong support when they experience difficulties with communication - which has motivated us to create this webinar on autism and selective mutism. The webinar is recorded: eventbrite.co.uk/e/101278220…
We are running a project called Barriers to Education - where we are rewriting the guidance for supporting young people when they struggle to attend school.
And I am running a half marathon to help make it possible:

I am hoping to run a webinar on Autism and Selective Mutism in October for SM awareness month. What time of the day would be best?

"Go back to the @educationgovuk & rip up the behaviourist approach to education. It creates a world where neurodiverse children, those with anxiety, mental health and even the timid cannot survive." Absolutely agree @RachaelMaskell 👏 @teamsquarepeg @NotFineinSchool
