Why do you say every stutter is different? Most people have remarkably similar experiences, habits, and types of stutters. Most ppl who “only block” are classic covert stutterers, who struggle w their name (and other commonly used proper nouns), other words that start w same letter as their name,, ordering food, answering phone. They tend to avoid eye contact and frequently switch words. This is important bc it gives hope for how to decrease your blocks.
