Intimately the end result of your advice (accepting your stutter) is great. But without addressing how to get there or the different intensities/secondary behaviors associated, many PWS are not being helped. Regarding the idea that we “make it count”, a PWS who experiences blocking and avoidance behaviors is often *not able to say what they actually think*. Before I learned how to drastically reduce my blocks, i often responded with “oh yes” in conversations, because my actual opinion was trapped behind extensive blocks.
