Those children with SM don't always appear outwardly anxious (like the SM actor in this film who chooses to rock back and forth in an anxious manner). Mutism is actually the mind's way of dealing with the anxiety.
i have SM, i know i am NOT choosing when to speak. not everything in the video is right, meaning the parts about medication & i think you could use some better acting.. i know i'm not THAT defiant. haha. other than that, i liked the video. good, short summary for people.
They are NOT choosing to not speak! Also, most children do not grow out of it, I'm pretty sure there is no proof that medication helps for kids younger than seven, and that is definitely not the only option for therapy.

Otherwise, everything is right. Cute.
