Just like many others, I enjoyed reading your article! I am a second year graduate student and have had the opportunity to work with a couple children who stutter. I found that these young children, ages 3 and 7, initiate the use of metaphors when trying to describe their own stuttering behaviors. I do little if anything to prompt them. When a PWS uses these metaphoric statements, they help communicate what stuttering is like to people who do not stutter. Thanks for sharing the metaphors you have used and heard during your practice.
