I really liked how you compared PWS and people who have mobility disabilities, suggesting that people with mobility disabilities are forced to be more open about their disabilities because they are incapable of hiding them from the outside world in the way that PWS are. This really highlighted the conflict that PWS face in deciding whether to hide or reveal the fact that they stutter to the outside world on a daily basis. I think more openness would be beneficial, making PWS more proud and accepting of their speech and themselves. But, obviously, this is not so easy to do. This was a great article, and for someone that is new to the field, it really helped me understand the unique challenges PWS face.
