I hope many young PWS will read your testimony. Stuttering and self-esteem are so closely interrelated that a growing self-esteem diminishes the stuttering or at least enhances communication. In my case it was the internet discussion group stutt-l which invited me to step out of the confortzone. After a couple of presentations ( Gent, Anaheim...) my social functioning improved dramatically. On the other side stuttering symptoms persist and have cyclic outbreaks, but this cannot stop us from doing what we want to do and what our family and friends expect us to do. Great writing, thanks Allan.
