In terms of media attention and increasing awareness of stuttering, I was wondering if you had any thoughts on the stuttering skit done on the Sept. 15, 2012 edition of Saturday Night Live. This skit prompted a lot of debate in my fluency class regarding whether laughing about stuttering or "making light" of it was ok. Many of us felt the skit was fairly accurate and was not poking fun at the person who stuttered as much as the awkwardness that resulted sometimes from the situation. I would love to hear yours or Nina's thoughts on this. Thanks! Rebekah
