Russ, thank you for the clear description of your learning process and "fun curve" (as opposed to learning curve!) in Toastmasters. And also for sharing the perspective of other TM people towards PWS who participate in public speaking. Sometimes it is hard for PWS to truly see how others may admire them for their efforts. I had a friend who made public presentations concerning a cause he believed in. He did not stutter but he was in tears while talking to me about his fears about speaking and how hard it was for him to put himself out there. His experience challenged my conceptions of other peoples' supposed freedom to speak as compared to my own with stuttering. Hannah
