Thanks for sharing your article. I am a speech therapist and work quite a bit with adults and high school aged kids who stutter. I found your article very compelling because I have had this very same conversation with quite a few PWS over the years. The same person in one conversation can tell me how his stuttering is a major disabilty, but then say later it is also a gift and as asset. I think the way stuttering can be a disability not only varies among people, but it varies WITHIN a person from situation to situation. I am curious if you see any way that your stuttering can in any way be an asset, strength, or gift.
