Thank you. His SLP actually has a few kids who stutter on her caseload. Last year she started a "social" type group for them. While he would go, he refused to participate in the conversations about what he wished others knew, how it "sucked" for him, etc. He insisted it wasn't a big deal. But I know he's at the age where he doesn't want to draw attention. So, it could be likely that he is projecting a confidence so that people stop trying to "help." He doesn't try to hide it all. So, it really appears that he does feel like: this is who I am and its a you problem if you don't like it.
