Good question without a clear, consistent answer. If it is a fleeting moment of ask and answer, the pws may think "why was it important for him to mention my stutter in order to tell me where Elm Street is?". If a rapport is established and it feels right, it may be nice to talk stuttering. A metaphor is the best way: "Do you sometimes stutter? (yes) I am in grad school for SLP...or I have a brother who stutters.." Then see if this is welcome. Cheers, Tim
