Hi Jada! You're right, my story as a PWS is nothing special, as you could exchange the word stuttering with so many other disabilities or other problems. The feeling of being an outsider, not being understood and not finding the words to explain, is something so many people face every day, especially teens. There IS a life after school and many people will tell you to cheer up, get a grip and move on, but that's not so easy and not always likely to accept it from other people who do not understand what you're going through. It's so important to be with people like you, to identify with. Who not only tell you there is a life out there, but who are the living proof of that! And to not that that "question mark" face from people in school, in the shops and around you. As long as we cannot find a cure, let's at least make this world an easier place to live in for PWS. Thanks for your understanding words and keep talking! Anita
