Loved seeing your contribution Jill. I like the way you describe the many ways to hide stuttering, and the many choices one faces when deciding if and when to "come out." Having been covert for so many years, and largely being overt now, I can appreciate your thoughtful attention to this. Many people have no idea how tough it is to pull off hiding a chunk of your identity. Because they have no idea, they often don't believe we stutter, and cannot understand the deep emotional issues we face when making a choice to hide. Thanks for putting this together, as we both know research in this area is sorely needed. New Zealand is so lucky to have you. I hope you are really enjoying the opportunity for such a wonderful new life experience! ~Pam
