Conclusion of study: fluency while alone

Conclusion of study: fluency while alone My apologies if you are getting tired of my posts regarding a survey of PWS when they speak alone, but I wanted to wrap up this study -- with a small caveat. Remember that the question is whether you are fluent if you speak when alone. Ratings are: 1= perfectly fluent when alone; 2= much more fluent when alone, but not perfect; 3 = slightly more fluent when alone; 4 = about the same; and 5 = worse fluency when alone than in presence of people. A number of responses gave a range, e.g. 1 - 2, and I gave those responses a x-value of 1.5 in the plot below. [Figure 1. Self-reports of fluency by PWS when they are alone. 62 total votes.](https://preview.redd.it/5aplrri2kkrd1.png?width=1078&format=png&auto=webp&s=63f7a4c9a8f37003b8c0fa58ba16ec5fa029faeb) The results are about the same as reported previously, but there are a few more responses. The general trend is the same as reported earlier: no one's fluency is worse when speaking alone, and many but not all are much more fluent when alone. **So my question/caveat is**: for those of you PWS who do not experience good fluency when you speak alone, what happens if you *whisper* while alone? Is that any better? If I get more than 5 responses to that question, I'll tabulate the results and post them in a later post. I have a Word document that lists all of the responses and their fluency ratings that form the basis for Figure 1, but I can't figure out how to share that document through Reddit. If anyone wants a copy, please message me through Reddit and I will send you a copy. Thanks again to all who participated! -- Live\_Airline\_3555
