Thanks for this insightfull paper, Steven and Chris. I hope it will give some covert stutterers the energy to leave their mess of shame and guilt. Accepting the problem is always the first step, and as you said, covert stutterers have difficulty associating themselves to overt PWS. In fact I still felt more shame in the presence of other PWS. It was only after joining the on-line self help community, that communicating with other stutterers gave me the insight that they were absolutely normal and wonderfull people (forgive me...)... As to the prevention of the syndrome, could it be wise to give some education to pediatricians, to child psychologists and others in contact with upgrowing children to help them recognise the problem in an early stage ?
