Please be aware that some PWS struggle with more than dysfluency - some engage in a variety of avoidance behaviors, up to and including being nearly unable to speak their own name. Upon answering a phone, some of us are unable to speak words quickly enough, making listener think the line is dead. Ignoring this fact does not help anyone. If the job requires effective verbal communication, people with significant blocks and avoidance behaviors cannot communicate effectively This is not abelism - it is realistic. However, if you block, there are habits you can learn that will drastically improve your ability to speak. They are free to learn and practice and you can start right now.
