Hi, I've read the literature and consistently it reports that the percentage of stuttering in the adult population is 0.7 - 1.0%, pretty much uniform throughout the world. But I have exactly the same impression as you do ... just where are all these stutterers? Do they self-isolate, or does "stuttering" include PWS who are so practiced at problematic-word avoidance that no one notices except them?
