This was a great way to look at stuttering. As an adult PWS, I am not that knowlegable of some of the concommitant disorders, although I have worked with adults with Down syndrome who also happened to stutter, in two cases, quite severely. For all three, I was able to get them hooked up with fluency therapy at our local college, which also served as good inclusion for them. I suppose then I am one of the rarities you suggest: a pure stutterer with no other afflictions. Even in grade school, when I got one school year's worth of speech therapy, it was only for the stuttering, never any other language issues. What con-committal disorders do you see most often in people who stutter?
