I found your personal perspective on accepting your "true Self" to be very enlightening. In your writing you said, "If a PWS could be set free of shame, his speech will improve dramatically." This is an ideal, we have discussed in our graduate courses, but I really enjoyed reading about your own passage, through meditation, towards acceptance of yourself and your speech. I was wondering if you are familiar with any sort of statistic focusing on the prevalence of people who stutter in India? I would be very interested in knowing what sorts of treatment options or supports are available for those individuals, especially children.
