1.    Can I please ask whether there is a care pathway for Selective Mutism (SM) in the NHS Shetland?

Children with selective mutism would be assessed by an SLT and seen or referred on as appropriate

2.    Can I also ask whether there is one for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)?

If so, for children and adults?

Yes, NHS Shetland has autism pathways for adults and children.
