Abstract in brief

  • The study investigated the relationship between autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and selective mutism (SM) in children, finding that a significant portion (63%) of children with SM also had ASD, with no difference between boys and girls.
  • Children with both SM and ASD tended to start showing SM symptoms later, received their diagnosis at an older age, and were more likely to have a history of speech delay, borderline IQ, or intellectual disabilities.
  • The findings suggest that there is an important overlap between ASD and SM, highlighting the need for clinicians to consider both conditions when diagnosing and treating affected children.]
