Hello. I really enjoyed reading your paper. As a graduate student currently in a fluency class, we have only briefly touched on neurogenic stuttering so far. I continue to see that it is cited in research (in your paper as well as other texts) that those with neurogenic stuttering feel perhaps annoyance, but not anxiety. Is this something in your personal experience that you find to be true? Due to learning about the emotional responses that often accompany developmental stuttering, it is hard for me to grasp that anxiety isn't common with all types of stuttering. If it isn't initally present following the event and the person is unable to improve their fluency over time, does anxiety eventually tend to form?
