My Selective Mute Daughter Communicates Through Her Art (15 Pics)

ADVERTISEMENT

My daughter is a selective mute and as such has anxiety and a fear of speaking but she has so much to say. She identifies as LGBTQ and often draws through this lens as well as a mental health lens. She is completely self-taught and is my inspiration to share, in whatever way you can, how you feel about this world that we live in.

    This dude right here? He works as a Community Manager at Bored Panda. Has no back-story, cause his spine works just fine. He writes about himself in third-person, and in first-person about others. Fell in love with storytelling and cannot let that love go. Now, he's here to help you make your own story simply beautiful. Secretly makes cute music samples and writes stories in the dark that nobody has ever heard of before.

    Cassie needs to stop referring to Demi as a she/her, because their pronouns are they/them.

    Being Selective mute is not a thing, and the parents are the cause of someone having "anxiety" over speaking. Go sign language this to an actual deaf or mute person and see how it goes
