Verbal shutdown feels odd. Nonverbal feels easier.. BUT I feel it's selective mutism, and I call mine shushy time :3

I have selective mutism (sounds way more controllable than it is) and thank you for educating me, I didn't know how harmful that wording can be

I have a kiddo who is non verbal and one with verbal shutdowns, I usually say "he goes non verbal" because it's what most people understand, and he's too young to tell me otherwise. but I will try to

I say going non verbal because selctive mutism is taken like I have a choice with not being able to talk, so personally I will keep using it.

As an autistic, I go non-verbal if I'm too overwhelmed, got yelled at, meltdown etc...and I had ppl tell me "answer me, you were just talking"

Jayde/Jay/JD :
Oh i thought I could use that for my autism. I'm usually verbal but sometimes when I get overstimulated I can't speak and I used "going non-verbal". I suppose a "verbal shutdown" is more accurate then

I think the term ‘shutdown’ has really negative connotations. It makes people think of someone curled up on the floor with their hands over their ears. We say ‘quiet time’ which works but…

i go non-verbal in some situations due to my autism and anxiety, and my psychologist called in nonverbal episodes, so im going to keep using that, but if someone asks me not to call it that infront +

I honestly don't see a problem it explains the situation well and clearly. whoever say they switch it off and on I don't agree but it doesn't matter what it's called as long as everyone understands

Alice ♿ 🏳️⚧️ :
I've never used it for what happens to me. I called what I get selective mutism. in certain situations anxiety can get so bad I can't speak

the one problem I've found is when there's been pushback from describing my friends selective mutism them going "well then select not to, we need them to speak" for like doctors, it's infuriating.

jasons_juice616 :
i explain it as i am an autistic person who is semi-verbal because that’s how it was explained to me. in a lot of situations i am physically unable to talk, and it becomes painful.

Koi Fish & co :
im verbalflux, sometimes i am "nonverbal" aka even hand or head gestures arent an option, but im trying to find better terms besides "verbal shutdown/loss" because that feels inaccurate

Kaen :
So what’s it called when you just cannot speak at all for like 3-4+hours at worst but no overstimulation or overwhelm. I can speak normally but i can go nonverbal. Ive had it since I was a baby.

I experience both selective mutism and verbal shutdown but we have two alters who are completely nonverbal. They never speak and can't although one can make noises like grunts
