Hi Kristi, I am so glad that you are enjoying reading the papers. You are asking a good question. However, I am not exactly sure which challenge is or was the most significant to me as a person who stutters. As a person who, for so long, felt unable, I think one of the biggest challenges is to realize that indeed we are equal to anyone past or present. I made the comment at the end of my paper that I wish all people to feel equal to others, yet to feel better than not a single person. I think acceptance of stuttering was and is a major step toward achieving speech fluency and communication freedom. I hope this helps. Good luck. David Shapiro
