nonverbal? if the don't use words how do they communicate on this forum?
I can't speak for others, but I myself have selective mutism that can sometimes kick into full 100% mute, which can manifest even when typing on a keyboard. And at least in my case it's almost impossible to realize I have it unless I specifically mention it since I just don't visit WP when I can't talk at all, or it just doesn't manifest in a way that can be differentiated from 'normal' behavior.
When dealing with a state of partial impediment it just means I avoid certain things, although I've learned plenty of tricks to get around the impediment and/or improve my state. Successfully writing SOME things improves my ability to write about more things. It's also far easier talking here than most communicative mediums.
I've seen a couple comments from some people that give me vibes of struggling or dealing with some form of speech processing disorder or peculiarity, though.
