Selective Mutism Link?

[028ellie81]

Has anyone ever suffered from selective mutism. I had a history of this during teenage years and still do sometimes and wondered if there was a link with social anxiety disorder

I don't know if I actually experienced or even now experience SM. I just know that I am always drawing a complete blank which prevents me from communicating openly... and my social anxiety doesn't help my social skills either.
