I'm not sure how much i stutter compared to you all. I try to keep orders as simple as possible (like one word). If somehow the person didn't understand. I kind of have a "fuck it" attitude and just stutter my way through it. I'll block on the first syllable and then they'll get me. Honestly i think speech therapists are nice but i got over it as a kid. I didn't really care for it. I get by in the world and i aim to become as educated as possible so i can continue to do the best for me. Fuck all the people who don't think it's possible for us. Our feelings matter and they're ignorant. I have a friend who changes his name to order food and copies our orders to avoid blocking, and i get it. He's doing well now, he got some technical education and got a job. He makes the 2nd most of all my friends growing up. Your stutter doesn't hold you back as much as you think. For those who want a perspective about my stutter based on my opinion. I have a YouTube channel i hope to grow. https://youtu.be/4mhxeqfX9EQ
