Dear Dr. William H. Perkins:

How happy I am after I found your comment on my paper! It is a great honor for me that you, a venerable elder, an instructor of young people, one of the world’s foremost scholars on stuttering(stammering), made comments on my paper.

In your comments, you mentioned “late onset ” and “involuntary chronic blockage typically begins in early stages of speech acquisition”, does it mean that there are two kinds of chronic stuttering?

I learned a lot from your two great books: “Stuttering and Science” and “Tongue Wars: Recovery From Stammering”. You said that you are a “maverick outsider” from the main stream, which thinks that stuttering (stammering) is unsolvable. In my point of view, you know more about our stutterers(stammers) than anyone else. With the intelligence of human being, stuttering (stammering) can be solved.
