Thanks for your support, Judy. I think it's time that PWS fought back. In many ways, we are our own worst enemies! We all believe in speaking out, but we still tend to let someone fluent do the talking for us. So we shouldn't be too surprised if awareness and understanding of stuttering is low. I am not brave, just desensitised and very motivated! There have been virtually no comments against the video, either on the YouTube comments page or in any of the BBC blogs. There was a guy who, in response to my question 'How would you feel?' put a comment on YouTube saying 'I would feel like a sp sp spa spas'. And, really, silly idiots like him just help to make my point.
