During class last evening, we discussed the ISAD conference and covert stuttering. I have difficulty distinguishing between a covert stutterer and a fluent person. I was wondering if covert stuttering is similar to a person who is anorexic...one who is thin but perceives self as being "FAT". A classmate thought that a covert stutterer had the identification similar to a recovering alcoholic who sees self as an alcoholic although he/she has not had a drink in X amount of years. Could you possibly explain the difference between a covert stutterer and a disfluent person? Thank you in advance for any additional information that you can share with me.
