What Is Selective Mutism?

selective mutism can definitely be a result of trauma or abuse though ???

If the person’s mutism is brought about as a result of abuse or trauma it is usually classed as elective mutism which is a slightly different condition :)

I thought elective mutism was just the former name for selective mutism?

It appears both you and the OP are correct. Elective mutism is no longer recognized by most clinicians. When it was recognized, it was defined as the refusal to speak in all situations rather than the inability to speak in some situations. That’s a pretty dangerous distinction, if you ask me.
