I am writing a story and i have a character who is autistic and selectively mute. I need help writing his character accuratly. So if anyone who knows or is someone who struggles with selective mutism could comment or something so i could portray his character correctly that would be amazing.

some info on the character is he is an autistic kid and will not talk to anyone but his best friend from ages 2-5ish (let me know if that is accurate or not) his parents don't know that he can talk or will talk to his friend till he is about 4.

let me know if you need more information

(this is also my first reddit post idk how it works)
