This is intersting. One pretty consistent finding is that, on average, people who stutter are more fluent when "distracted." Of course this is not consistent across all people who stutter, as you yourself demonstrate in saying that DAF was too distracting to help with your fluency. You also raise the interesting possibility that sex differences may exist in the strageties males and females use to deal with stuttering. Perhaps females don't stutter just because they appraoch speech fluency differently than do males. I haven't read much about strategy and stuttering, but your comments motivate me to look into it more. Thanks, Dave
