My kid has the same problem.She is 4.5. We've been told that she is not having autism. It's all about social anxiety. My kid also develops selective mutism. She doesn't speak to teacher or other peers in the school. She is not participating any group work. She is perfectly fine at home.

医生的意思是等1. Parents make small step plans for the kid. For example, say hello to 2 people every day. Gradually they will make progress. Just make sure one thing at a time. If you tell them how to do 10 things a day, they will withdraw more. So, we have to be extra patient.
2. Arrange play dates for them.
My daughter just got diagnosed. I am still doing more research on this.
Let’s keep in touch and exchange more information on this.

还有,察看自己的保险. Some insurance policy covers private phychologist's fee. So your kid can get diagnosed faster. We only wait for a month to see the phycologist. But I am not in Toronto.
