Yes, the stuttering causes the anxiety, not the other way around. But the issue is that PWSC are somewhat of a misunderstood group. Yes, they have a speech difference, but one that others don't see or hear. As a consequence they don't so much identify with people who stutter openly or people who don't stutter at all. The perception among PWS is "what's your problem.. you don't really stutter!". So the purpose of my article was to raise awareness, sensitivity and understanding of this "invisible" and "inaudible" form of stuttering.
