Lourdes, I don’t know of any investigations of stuttering and selective mutism but it is not surprising that a PWS would choose this option, at least in particularly threatening communication situations. A brief description by James Earl Jones of his choice to respond to stuttering in this way may be found in his book: Jones, J. E., & Niven, P. (1993) Voices and Silences, Charles Scribner’s Sons: New York.
