Is stuttering a curse or a blessing? What is your viewpoint in your experience? The problem of suggesting that stuttering can be a blessing is, that the mainstream PWS uses this chance to reinforce justifying compulsion 'as if they need to cling on to a stutter habit'. When non-stutterers see the cup as half full, mainstream PWS see the cup as half empty and choose to use the response and perspective of a mainstream PWS for any reason/condition they think is acceptable. **How can we change this mundane stigma?** (see my opinion in the comments)
