Also, public service announcement:
Physical mutism is caused when a person has with an injury or problem with the body parts that allow you to speak.
Injury, trauma, or defects in the vocal chords, esophagus, mouth, tongue, lungs, or a certain part of the brain can cause physical mutism.
Selective mutism is when a person who is capable of speaking does not speak, either by choice, anxiety disorders, or another reason personal to them.
The reader has physical mutism, not selective.
Hope this helps, as a few of you guys were wondering! ^-^
