Hi Albert, I just read your article and it really got me thinking. I belong to an NSA Support Group and one of our members is a Chinese woman who stutters. She tells us that in her culture everyone has to be perfect and if you stutter it brings the family and the person that stutters great shame; is this the same for both males and females in China? If this is true, how do you change a culture? I look as one's culture as the foundation to their being. How do we change these shameful cultural beliefs in everyone not just the people who stutter? This is a great article and a real eye opener. Thanks, Brad Madsen
