Blog on Selective Mutism

In adding value to this blog I decided to visit my local Barnes and Nobels to see what books to add and recommend on selective mutism.  There was a big table with Autism books and Autism awareness month.  I thought great, they will have books to look at on this topic.  When I could not find any, I asked and was told they had one. When he brought it to me, I realized that it was a fictional story that one of the characters had the disorder.  No help.

I then went to look at the autism section and looked at different books.  There were books on what it is, books for children, books on group activities. It was mass merchandising of autism on a large scale.  I hope it gets the word out and their message spreads.

So I do not have any recommended books, first person or clinical at this point to add as resources to this blog. I will have to add them as I find them at a later date.

But it did show me that disorders are now big business. Book deals are make on them, people must be buying them, other wise they would not be available. So in the mean time, my blog is chronological. Start at the first entry and read up and you will get the full story and all the paths we took and the successful outcome we had with our son who had selective mutism.
