Issues Pertaining to Diagnosis There are various views on how Selective Mutism should be classified. Some individuals believe that SM should be classified under social anxiety but others disagree. Some studies show that children with SM score lower than children who have a social phobia on the Social Phobia and Anxiety Inventory (SPAIK), so social anxiety may not be the cause of SM in many cases (Wong, 2010).
