What an inspiring story, thanks for sharing. As a graduate student working with clients who stutter for the first time, I have found myself having more frequent "normal" disfluencies. I am not a PWS, and I am very shy to voluntarily stutter, espeically in class. However, like I mentioned, I seem to notice more of these normal disfluencies. I can't help but wonder if these always existed as they do now, except now I am more skilled in hearing and recognizing them (the disfluencies).I get a fleeting sense of what it might feel like to be a PWS when I experience my "normal" disfluencies. Either way, I am grateful to recognize stuttering both in myself and in my clients. Awareness and acceptance are so crucial in therapy!
