Hi Allyson: Thanks for the question. As you know from the paper, we had respondents from 32 countries in this paper. We did run statistical analysis (ANOVA) on differences between PWS in different countries. We found no major differences on this variable - that is, challenges and discrimination are found in all regions. Statistical analysis aside, we also asked an open-ended questions about the challenges faced by the respondents in the workplace. From this anecdotal evidence, it seems as if challenges in foreign countries (India, for example) was particularly intense. That is, we had Indian respondents make statements like 'they had no chance at at in their career due to stuttering'. Hope this helps. Dr. Marshall Rice, York U.
