I'm glad to see another blind pws on the list. I've nearly always found my blindness to be more of a problem than my stutter. I suppose that my version of the bike really wasn't in learning to ride my bike as a child but in sky diving. That's a situation where speaking really is a life or death thing. I did serious damage to a knee sky diving so that's added to my mix to deal with. However, I've almost always found blindness to be more of a problem than stuttering. I'm ASHA certified in both speech and audiology and never (either during classes or my cf years) had anyone comment on my stutter but always did on my blindness.
