I’m just saying that, outside of uncommon situations, the academics who study this very specific topic have learned there is a universal cause for stuttering that has evolved into blocking. They’ve learned that there are a set of secondary behaviors that many do. Just the fact that so many PWS block on their own name (including fearing events where you’ll have to say it) is evidence that the emotional trigger and the coping mechanisms are very similar. Do you struggle with proper nouns (esp your own name, and words that begin with that sound/letter) or have developed a big vocabulary because your brain is hyper focused on always finding ways to avoid what you initially want to say? Does your speech instantly become fluent in certain situations? Those are very specific experiences that many PWS have. Maybe you are saying that bc we each have letters that are hardest, we have different experiences? Or that because we can navigate around some blocks and not others, our experience is different? Do you fear having to give your order at a restaurant, or have ever ordered something else bc you blocked so badly? That all results from similar causal factors. I’m willing to bet that almost everyone who blocks would benefit from talking slower at onset and while anticipating a block , and *only combined with certain other habits*. I always had a mild stutter, which developed into debilitating blocking about a decade ago and resulted in me taking a leave of absence from my teaching position. 2 years ago, I learned new habits (related directly to the things I mentioned above) and my blocking disappeared within 2 months, and I even stopped fearing saying my name. There was no medication, money or gimmicks involved. It did involve some hard and scary work. The only times my blocking returns is after having a sore throat, post nasal drip, or after a stressful event. A few days of practicing my new habits leads right back to me being able to say the words wish. You don’t have to believe any of this. But if you did, including looking at the academics who study *dysfluency*, I’m willing to bet you’d reduce blocks dramatically and be able to say your name. Good luck to you!
