I cannot help but note the quiescent and self-congratulatory tone among the profs here. Given the fact that stuttering is by no means "solved," one could reasonably expect the critical thinking necessary in the scientific method would call for some disagreement with each other. You know, the one about the impossibility of making omelettes without breaking eggs? Having said that, would the profs prefer that we who stutter be more like aphasics or swallowing disorders people? In other words, don't challenge any paradigms of the status quo in which we are heavily invested; don't make waves and above all, don't get the institutional bill-payers thinking. Or would at least some of you prefer that we who stutter be like the kid in the story of the Emperor's New Clothes? (My apologies in advance to aphasics and swallowing disorders people dissatisfied with SLPs.)
