Thank you for sharing, Chris! I have observed a PWS during his therapy sessions, and one of the things they worked on was making phone calls and advertising. Of this experience, he said he felt less tension or fear about stuttering because the listener already knew that he was going to stutter; however, he also said that he didn’t like advertising that he was a PWS feeling that it would label him and call negative attention to himself. I’d love to provide him with this article you’ve written so that he may see and maybe relate to another’s experiences in hopes of reducing that fear [of the unknown/of what others will think].
