I found this article very interesting, and like many other people I was very surprised about the statistic that "68% of people who stutter are reported to have some other speech, language, or learning disorder." I noticed that you said these concomitant disorders in some cases are as as mild like a lisp. What proportion of these concomitant disorders are less severe like a lisp as compared to Aspergers or ADHD? Do you think people are not as aware of the prevalence of concomitant disorders because some of the concomitant disorders are much less severe and may be unnoticed? Thank you, Marissa Garfinkel
