Dear Henry Bijleveld,

Thank you for the interesting article. It is very important to correctly identify the cases of developmental/acquired stutter. One question: You indicated the Helm et al. wrote that "Onset of stuttering in a well-adjusted adult should be regarded as a possible symptom of neurological disease" and you indicated this on pg201. I would appreciate if you specify in which of two Helm et al. publications this quotation come from (pg 201 does not to be in these publications).

One vase that might be of your interest. In our study of the Chinese population we had a case of a severe stutterer, who started to stutter at the age of 14, and got in a couple of years to the stage of a severe stutterer. Now he is 19 and still is a severe stutterer. I do not know many of such cases that's why | thought this case might be of your interest.
