Thanks for sharing this article. The article states "The potential emotional and psychological impacts of stuttering due to stigma are often considered a core aspect of the stuttering experience and are included in some contemporary definitions of stuttering" I don't agree nor disagree with this statement but I find it strange that they mention the emotional and psychological impact of stuttering in relation to stigma rather than the stuttering itself. The inability to speak when one wants to speak is what leads to the emotional and psychological impact. I question the notion that there is stigma towards people who stutter, though that isn't the point I'm trying to make here. Anyway, I just found it a strange sentence. I would prioritize the emotional and psychological impact of stuttering due to stuttering first, before I discuss anything related to stigma.
