Hi all - as you may have read in my earlier post - I'm leading support group meetings in Pakistan and I have always been very overt with my stuttering. It was no secret that I stuttered - merely because I was unsuccessful at keeping it a secret - so disclosures were actually easy for me. I have met a few coverts at our meetings and I was wondering what the best approach is to help them? Some are so covert that NONE of their friends and family even know they stutter. I imagine asking them to go around "breaking the news" isn't the most reasonable advice. What do you suggest?
