The hard blocks absolutely come from remembering previous speaking traumas. There’s no way PWS are all just randomly afraid of giving your name for appointments. The reason your name is the worst is bc stuttering is an issue where ppl always try toavoid and fake. Your own name is a very common problem bc - there’s no alternative, and when you needto say it, there’s no way you could have forgotten. Because there’s no way out, you panic even more, and thrn block even harder. Just like a person with PTSD from a sexual assault is not afraid of blankets that are blue, rather the memory of being wrapped in a blue blanket during the trauma.
