hi! this is my first post on this blog, and i'd like to introduce myself.
you can call me twelve (i'm not actually 12, don't worry.) i'm a british teenager living with mutism. i'm diagnosed selective but most likely have the progressive mutism subtype, meaning i'm completely unable to speak (yes, even if i'm on a beach in the bahamas with a packet of crisps, my best friend, and a piña colada) so i primarily use British Sign Language to communicate. i like to swim and play music, i have atrociously bleached blonde hair, and i like peach aesthetics (as you can probably tell).
i'm hoping to educate people on mutism, the different types and causes, and how you can support us. i'll also likely talk a bit about my own struggles with being mute and living in a verbal world. i hope people will find this blog helpful! feel free to message me if you just want to chat or have any questions. ♡
