in my experience, if it hurts or is really uncomfortable to talk or you have to put a lot of effort into it, it's a verbal shutdown. There's nothing wrong with going nonverbal, but you might look into getting an app that can talk out loud for you, making cards to communicate with, learning some sign, ect if it happens often (and you're around people it's safe do so with)
