Stuttering is a weird dynamic. Often it’s harder to speak to “authority figures” like parents, teachers, bosses, etc. This is probably true for all people to some smaller extent. No fault of anyone the stutter began when you were little and continued to worsen. Lots kids go through a period of what’s called, “Normal Disfluency.” It comes and then goes. But for PWS it comes and it stays. Sometimes it gets better starting around puberty and sometimes it just worsens or carries on into adulthood. Kids with typical normal disfluency don’t have the struggle, clicks, tics, spasms, secondaries, and word or sound avoidances.
