I don't think you really read what I wrote, nor do I think you understand how the idea of acceptance is a vicious cycle. It's almost like a virus in the stuttering community that spreads and propagates and infects others who are trying to make real change in their life. I fear that the field has pivoted in a way that meets their $$ demand, while simultaneously not addressing what people who stutter really want, and that is to speak normally. I want answers for my children.. "accept it" is not a good enough answer.
