The only pro of having stuttering for me is that **I can help other PWS.** If it weren't for me having stuttering too, I was likely to ignore what PWS are actually facing with irl and how painful they were feeling every day just like normal ppl, for no excuses that I gotta take any care of PWS as a normal speaker. Probably will just advice PWS to 'slow down','don't mind stuttering! It's normal' and other uninformed and even provocative stuffs. But the truth is everything is not that easy. So as I am having more and more intimate knowledges of stuttering, I am sparing no efforts to help and support PWS online and at the meantime I am willing to write a book about stuttering and PWS in future to help PWS and raise the awarenesses of the whole society about stuttering, not just making them as laughing stocks or misunderstanding how easy overcoming stuttering is. That's the only pro of stuttering for me that I can think of. Hope my book can help PWS a lot.
