The term 'situational mutism' is being used for two very different things — and some young people are getting the wrong support as a result. We explain the difference between selective mutism and reactive mutism in our new position paper. 📘

There is other BIG NEWS today. This starts the process for ending an autism human rights scandal. We @Autism will work hard with MPs and Peers on sections that need strengthening. After so many years, this is *the* opportunity.
The Government’s new Mental Health Bill is a once in a generation chance to end the human rights scandal of autistic people being inappropriately detained in mental health hospitals. (1/3)

The system has been broken for years. It’s just not working for autistic children and their families who have to fight too hard and too long for support. Children’s rights are being pushed aside because councils and schools lack the funding to follow the law:
