I really enjoyed this article!! You truly opened my eyes to the closet metaphor. I had never thought of it being related to other populations, and I believe your explanation gives much insight into how persons with exceptionalities, particularly person who stutter covertly, can go through the complex process of acceptance and coming out. You mentioned how PWSC have a suggested higher prevalence of anxiety disorders compared to PWS seeking therapy for stuttering. My question is whether are not you think it is necessary for a PWSC to seek group affiliation in order to reduce their possible psychological pressures?
