Joseph I have to first thank you for your very interesting and educational article. I especially liked the recording. I am a graduate student in Speech Language Pathology at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette and I feel that the article not only taught me about cluttering but also gave me an idea of what it is like to live as a person who clutters. Also I have never heard an example of a person's speech during a cluttering moment. I have not read or learned much about cluttering yet in my studies this semester in my fluency course, however we had a guest speaker recently who is a person who stutters. He mentioned that before receiving help for his problems he had lots of tension and felt exhausted after a day of talking because of all of the blocks, etc. I realize that cluttering is different because there is generally no tension, but it still appears that after speaking so fast and after changing ideas and repeating yourself so many times, etc. that a person would feel exhausted. Can you describe the way that you feel after an episode of cluttered speech or after a day of cluttered speech?
