So, this is a long way of saying that stuttering is "shame-based" for the vast majority of people, meaning we feel its a problem within us, not because we feel something came at us or did something to us, or hurt us. It is felt as the defect within ourselves. When the other kids laughed, I actually didn't blame them. It was my fault that they discovered this "really bad" part of me such that I just can't "do" something right. However, this is not a "trauma." It felt very, very hopeless and scary, where every afternoon was a cliff-hanger watching the clock minute by minute, terrified I was going to be called on before school was over. This is a prominent hardship for any school child, but I know a lot of children who have to drag themselves to school every day due to some other fear, that, from a child's viewpoint, is just as bad. You can't play "I Can Top That" with childhood stressors.
I think I felt so disappointed with this book, because her childhood stuttering was given such short shrift when she is describing it, then it is largely ignored while she has a "fascinating" life, and only taken up again to use as a "trauma."
