Not a stutterer ...

Not a stutterer ... Hey, I am not a stutterer but have a very specific and uncommon speech impediment. Anyhow, I had a client who stuttered and was unclear if I should unlock eye contact when he was stuttering or not. I am probably thinking too much about this but I want this guy to feel respected and comfortable. What y'all think ? Note: eye contact is not easy for me. It is something I have to remind myself to do, due to being on the spectrum.
