Mutism
Added 2020-11-21 20:48:32 +0000 UTCMuteness or Mutism is defined as an absence of speech while conserving or maintaining the ability to understand the speech of others. Mutism is typically understood as an inability to speak on the part of a child or an adult due to an observed lack of speech from the point of view of others who know them. Such observers commonly include a mute person's family members, caregivers, teachers, and health professionals like doctors or speech and language pathologist. Muteness may not be a permanent condition, depending upon etiology (cause). In general, someone who is mute may be mute for one of several different reasons: organic, psychological, developmental/neurological.
🔹For children, a lack of speech may be developmental, neurological, psychological, or due to a physical disability or a communication disorder.
🔹For adults who previously had speech and then became unable to speak, loss of speech may be due to injury, disease, termed aphasia, or surgery affecting areas of the brain needed for speech. Loss of speech in adults may occur rarely for psychological reasons. ~Wikipedia

Note: This was something I wanted to make when I played with Wicked Whims Porcelain Dolls. However, I wanted to make this far more in-depth but at present am unsure how. If anyone has suggestions based on Real Life experience, Please let me know. 🙏 For now, I really wanted to add this for those who use my Blind Trait, or any social phobia traits, and or other Ailment Traits - Also good for Storytellers.
Thanks 💜
