As I was reading your reflection on your Aneurysm and where it occured (posterior inferior cerebellar artery), it related to another case that I had just discussed in my graduate level fluency class. There was a similar case like yours, only the it was to the brain stem area and the cerebellare area and the child has been affected since birth. Now, to my best knowlege the cerebellum has to do with fine motor functioning, so I wonder if that could be an area that should be investigated in relation to stuttering, what are you thoughts? Also, you said that you think that psychological reasons are more of the cause/reason that you stutter, and I was just curious as why you attribute your disfluencies to that?
