Hey, I appreciate the reply. Interesting story and glad you are doing better. I think there are other reasons for stuttering that could vary for different people. Cognitive inflexibility I think can also be a reason. Where people struggle to switch topics, environments and tasks in a fluid, comfortable way. For example, sometimes if I am by myself and deep in thought about something, if someone comes up to me and starts talking to me, my brain is a bit disassociated because I’m not ready to speak. So I might block because my brain has not shifted gears to begin speaking. So that type of rigid/inflexible thinking I think is another contributing factor. Also, for me when I eat food with cornstarch in it, I can sometimes start to block with no emotion behind it. This I think is an allergic reaction. One more thing I think of is when somebody has basically overcome the emotional side of stuttering, but stills blocks sometimes. I’m not an expert but have created a term for this called “scar stuttering”. Because emotional issues and wounds have healed, but the person still stutters like it’s a scar. I also do a lot better while making eye contact with people. I think in this case, the PWS has the intention to speak to another person, but the brain doesn’t feel an actual human to human connection until eye-contact creates a feeling of intimacy. The intimacy makes our brain tap into it’s social side, thus allowing us to speak and socialize. Does this make sense?
