Selektiv mutisme

Selektiv mutisme er en tilstand, hvor den ramte har normal talefærdighed i mange (ofte de fleste) situationer, men er stum i visse sociale situationer. Selektiv mutisme opstår i barndommen, oftest i 3-6 års alderen. Mellem 0,7 og 0,8% af alle danske børn i førskole- og skolealderen lider af tilstanden. En del tilfælde går mere eller mindre over af sig selv med alderen, mens andre lider af tilstanden hele livet.^[1]

Den svenske klimaaktivist Greta Thunberg lider af selektiv mutisme.^[2]

That basically means I only speak when I think it's necessary. Now is one of those moments... I think that in many ways, we autistic are the normal ones, and the rest of the people are pretty strange, especially when it comes to the sustainability crisis, where everyone keeps saying that climate change is an existential threat and the most important issue of all and yet they just carry on like before."
