Happy December!
We had a fun group last night, with casual conversation about Star Wars and a new guest!
One discussion revolved around whether people prefer being referred to as a “person who stutters” or a “stutterer.” Some folks found it tricky to be labeled either way, and we talked about possibly coming up with a new term that is a little less clinical. One member joked that the abbreviation for “person who stutters” (PWS) sounds like a disease of some kind.
Friendly reminder in this season of giving that you can donate to our Memorial Fund in honor of Gaetan De La Bruere, which supports outreach about stuttering around Vermont. You can also consider making a donation to the National Stuttering Association (NSA) office, which oversees all of the free support groups.
Thanks from Team Stuttering!
