We need some direction of Hope. The problem isn’t so much a lack of information on stuttering, rather a lack of competent synthesis of all the information we have. Many insights about the condition are ready for the drawing if you zoom out a bit and look at the big picture. There're a lot of stutter books, and research available… but I guess people who are dealing with Stuttering need constructive answers. Some direction of Hope and I feel Hope comes from a proactive mindset which rebels against a fatalistic hypothetical/theoretical mindset. We all have the same goal as far as the Stuttering enigma is concerned. **So.. let's all work together!** We can learn a great deal I think, from the perspectives of our fellow stutterers. I think they can increase our understanding and perception of the stuttering part of us. That's helpful in a lot ways. Specifically widening our understanding of what's possible and aspects of stuttering that we can work on. It can also spark ideas. There's many smart or high IQ people in our community who might come up with a solution or useful tips.
