Hi, thank you for taking the time to share this method. However, I am not sure if it is realistic. Here's why: 1. When I am, for example, at work, I am required to speak, regardless of how confident I feel. In other words, I don't really have the option to remain silent in settings where communication is necessary and therefore cannot use this method. 2. Many PWS feel *unconfident* speaking more frequently than they feel *confident*speaking. Given this, if they were to use your method, this would mean that they wouldrarely speak, which I don't feel is healthy mentally and socially. 3. Something I have observed as a PWS and that I know many others have as well is thatour most fluent moments often occur when we are distracted/not thinking about ourstutter, which would not be possible with your method. What are your thoughts?
