There’s a vast difference between people who speak with repetitions and occasional blocks AND people who are suffer blocks every few words. Besides the obvious (*extremely* challenging to express yourself), a block generally indicates there’s a mini-panic response happening. People with this intensity are being flooded with panic chemicals all day long. Imagine once/month, you encounter a road detour on your way to work, and there’s signage showing you alternate routes. Your boss doesn’t get annoyed that you are 5 minutes late bc it’s so infrequent. Now imagine, 5 times/commute, you encounter a road detour on your way to work, and there’s NO signage showing you alternate routes. You never know where to go, or how much extra time you’ll need. It’s *vitally^ important that people who are suffering with something *different* from your experience feel safe here.
