I would like to say support but I don't think I have any of that.  I would have loved to have support whenever I was first diagnosed with selective mutism when I was 4.  Everyone thought it was my fault.  People kept thinking that it was refusal to speak.  It was not refusal to speak.  It is clearly an anxiety disorder where a person who is normally able to speak does not speak in certain situations or to certain people.  If mom would have listened what I heard on Wikipedia back in 2012 then she would have known that too.  But I am grateful for the basic things like a roof over my head, clothes on my back, money to buy stuff and finding money in a book when I thought that I lost that $10 bill.  (i actually did find a 10 dollar bill in a book)  I was going to give it to Goodwill and something told me to flip through the book and I found a $10 dollar bill.  I am so grateful that my guardian angel told me to flip through the book. ...
