Your article was easy to read and informative. We have learned in our fluency class the brain functions of a PWC/CWS are often different from that of a person who does not stutter. Do you know if PWS/CWS may also have other concomitant disorders due to the fact that their brain is not "wired" the same as those who do not stutter? For example, if you have a language disorder and you are a PWS then which came first? It seems to me that if your brain was "wired" to process language and you have a language disorder you may develop stuttering due to the pathways not being laid correctly for language in the first place. Or is this something that we still don't have the answer too? Thanks in advance for your comments
