Thank you for your informative article. I am also a student in a speech pathology program. When discussing attention, you state, "a disproportionately high diagnosis of ADHD among people who stutter is consistent with a link between DS and attention." Do you feel that the dx is only ADHD or is ADD without hyperactivity also involved? Do you feel other reasons for overly abundant distractibility are equally important as these two labels? If so, which ones if you can point to any.
