I really like listening to your experiences as I have a 5-year old daughter with SM. I also like the involvement of the mother. I don’t give 5 stars because of all the laughing. I understand that you are looking back at things and from that perspective it migh seem „less serious”. But it’s really...Read full review »

My daughter has selective mutism. I am just now learning about it and come to realize now I also had it. I can relate to so many things you talk about and experience them with her. I’ve learned so much from you both. This has been an excellent resource while I wait to get her the care she needs...Read full review »

My daughter who is 9 is still struggling with selective mutism and has done since she was 2/3. We live in NZ where there is very limited expert or experienced help or even knowledge on the subject. Your podcast has empowered me to make a plan of action and given me hope for the future. ...Read full review »

I had never heard of SM until I heard Chelsea on Turn Autism Around and realized my daughter had it. Thanks to the information and advice I’ve gotten while listening to the podcast I’ve started therapy for my daughter (SM diagnosis was confirmed by therapist). She’s 12 which feels like we’re...Read full review »

Thank you for creating a much needed resource that centers the voice of someone with SM. As a mom of a little one with SM and sensory sensitivities, you have helped deepen my understanding and actually given some practical skills. I have read some research that suggests SM may be linked with an...Read full review »

I downloaded this podcast and then got discouraged (with things that were happening with my daughter) so I never listened to it. Now I can’t stop listening. I find myself going back to re listen a lot! It’s been helpful to hear Chelsea’s perspective. We haven’t made a minutes progress in the last...Read full review »

I subscribed to this podcast a while back but didn’t actually start listening until today. I love that there’s a podcast specifically for SM that talks about a bunch of different aspects and experiences. I didn’t know I had SM until age 23 (I’m 25 now) and was never accommodated growing up, but...Read full review »

I’m a dad of two SM daughters. I’ve always wondered what it is my girls are thinking & feeling, and when I try to ask, the anxiety seems to block their words even to me. I’ve only recently started listening to Outloud, but it gives me a comforting peek into their minds. THANK YOU for exposing...Read full review »

Chelsea, thank you for opening up about SM. As a parent I always wanted to speak with someone that went through this, so I can be of better help to my child.

This has grown to be one of my favorite podcasts! Chelsea and Anne are so easy to listen to, and each episode is packed with really useful information.

Loved the podcast! As a teacher, I can use a lot of this information to help any students who have selective mutism. Over my teaching career, I have had two students with SM. I totally agree with not putting students with SM in special education classrooms. This has nothing to do with their...Read full review »

As the parent of a 10 year old who has experienced this since the age of 4, if not before, this is the first time I have really identified with material and felt optimistic about the future in relation to overcoming these challenges. Child also really enjoys it!

I am a child psychologist who works with children diagnosed with SM in Hong Kong. Thank you for talking about treatments for SM and especially PCIT-SM. Hopefully families will find effective treatments to support their kids.

My daughter has SM and we have been listening to the podcast together. It really helps her to know that there are others out there that have gone through the same issues that she is dealing with.
