Hi Prakhar- Thank you for sharing your story. I am an Speech Therapist and I already have two people in mind that I work with who would benefit from reading this story. They have had similar experiences to yours. I really liked you analogy about walking in the desert. I was wondering if you could talk a little about disclosing your stuttering to familiar and unfamiliar people. I have spoken with a few "covert" PWS in the past. They say they like the idea of being more open about their stuttering, but there is no way they could do it because what would their friends think, who'd they'd known years, if out of the blue they started stuttering? So as you became more open with your stuttering, did you talk about the changes in your speech with your friends? When you meet new people now or give presentations, do you disclose your stuttering. Thanks for your insight.
