Hi Elise, Thank you for your interest in the article! I am not a PWSC, nor am I a PWS. My interest in PWSC began with my involvement with the National Stuttering Association. I have developed friendships and heard the stories of many persons who are covert. In May 2011 I completed my doctoral dissertation on coming out of the stuttering closet, via interviews with six participants. Absolutely, there are ramifications as an adult, in addition to the panic and anxiety about these ramifications, even if these ramifications never occur. These are legitimate thoughts and feelings to work through if/when working with a professional or to consider when independently going through the process. –Jill
