One of the reasons people are receptive to hearing about stuttering may be that so many PWS do NOT talk about it. The NSA survey last year showed that the majority of PWS feel embarrassed when people find out they stutter, and do not talk about stuttering with co-workers or classmates. If more of us were more open about our stuttering, public awareness probably would be higher (but you would be less in demand as a public speaker).
