The most interesting part of Wednesday's "webinar," in my opinion, was the brief discussion of stuttering and Tourette Syndrome. I had assumed that what resembled stuttering was actually a vocal tic, but now I am not so sure. I have known a few people who stutter, and their disfluencies (I just learned a new word!) seem, to me, to be qualitatively different from what I see in TS (sample size of one, admittedly). Here are a few links about TS and stuttering; decide for yourself:
