Blocking isn't as visually "quirky and cute" as repetitions are, so there's that angle as well. ...

Interesting that ~90% is blocking, but the popular media representation is overwhelmingly repetition.  Media in general seems to suck with spectrum-disability representation-- all Tourettes is coprola...

Getting blocks during phone calls is very common and happens to me all the time. We can't imply words or use gestures to insinuate what we're saying like we can in-person. If you get a block in front ...
