Edit
I don't stutter, but I am wondering what others think about a possible a link between stuttering and FD?

I recently left a few questions on a YouTube clip about stuttering. I asked:

Do people who stutter feel a great deal of anxiety when they know they have to speak out loud?

Do they actually try to avoid stuttering when speaking?

Is there a great deal of negative aniticipation involved immediately before speech?

To date, about 8 people have responded and all of them said 'yes' to every question.

Replace the word 'speak' with 'play' and I could answer 'yes' to them all too.

I wonder whether the psychological/emotional-based analysis and rehabilitation might have the same positive effects on stutterers as it has done on FD sufferers?
