I would just ignore it unless he brings it up. Be patient when it takes him longer to say things. Don't finish sentences for him. I think whether or not a man is going to feel emasculated by being c...

This is really hard situation. There's this bizarre stigma that a stutter is best ignored, or else the heavens will fall down. I know that as a covert mild PWS I'd rather die than be confronted about...
