Thanks for reading it. I hope it helps everyone to be more understanding of anyone who stutters. It is the "final frontier" for the public understanding and awareness of disabilities. No one would trip a blind person, or make fun of someone who was deaf, etc....yet, people openly make fun of people who stutter. Mocking, mimicking and generally abusing people who stutter is commonplace. I experience it all of the time. As with other disabilities, it will take awareness through education for people to treat people who stutter equally. Thanks, Barb Barb
