Unfortunately, the ABC Primetime Live show last Thursday night
certainly diminished all the hard work we do to alleviate
misconceptions about SM, particularly that it is caused by abuse. I
hope that all of you write to ABC with your concerns about this
issue. http://abcnews.go.com/Primetime/

However, on a good note, the London Times published this article
today. Go to their site, http://www.timesonline.co.uk/, and do a
search for selective mutism and it will lead you to it. Maggie
Johnson and Alison Wintgens will be speakers at the SMG~CAN
Conference, July 7th, www.selectivemutism.org. Their book is
wonderful!
