I agree with you, Florence, that we should ask the individual which term he or she prefers, if we need to use a term at all. Our clients are people first. I always tell my students to use people-first language, as disorders don't define a person. I also tell them that some people who stutter may call themselves "stutterers," but that is their choice to make, not my students' choice. I agree with Scott and many others that PWS is no better than "stutterer" as a label.
