i wish secondary behaviors were known among general public. people may know about repetition type of stuttering, while ignorant about block type of stuttering, and even more ignorant about secondary behaviors, so they often misunderstand us. with secondarry behaviors firing hard with blocks, they can see us as crazy and stop listening. but with secondary behaviors mild, they can see us as non-verbally communicating stuffs like a yes, or a no, or an aggressive intent or whatever, so the end result is the same: they stop listening to our words. and with secondaries almost contained, they interrupt you mid-sentence with advices, "speak faster", "speak slower" and so on. even though they are the ones being rude, they accuse us of being rude for not keeping up with their advices and use that as an excuse to stop listening.
