If PWS is spending time - reading listserves postings related to stuttering, reading internet sites, exploring therapy with SLP or do anything related to increasing his knowledge about stuttering- which in turn is directed towards improving himself to face and overcome Stuttering. How much is enough?

Should anyone ever feel it's too much ?

Is there really anytime it is enough if PWS is not reasonably recovered? (One of my Pen-pal in US , who stutters, sometime back said she would pass posting on Stutt-L and asked me not to forward as she is quite recovered and doesn't feel a need to read anything on stuttering).

All this forms a support system, which helps PWS immensely.

There are no tangible benefit appearing instantly. Do they appear instantly?

Should anyone related to PWS ever feel it's waste of time or so?

Where people are ignorant, especially in under-developed countries or third word countries, often this may happen. There may be other compelling reasons for family or even if they do not have reason, they may feel PWS is wasting time doing all this. But like we PWS know how much better we feel, if we have attended a PWS meet at clinic. There is lot of moral support.

For PWS, who have lost out on many things in life, recovery and able to things as he wishes without hesitating out of stuttering is one of most joyous things. It is immaterial if he stutters less or more, but he is able to do things as he wants and is free from fear.

Has any SLP have any comment about this?
