Absolutely! I learned ASL about 20 years ago for that purpose. My husband learned it as well. I stutter really badly when I’m tired or stressed and signing seriously relieved some of the anxiety. Ironically, I ended up using ASL in my classroom—I taught high school art, art history and literature. I had several deaf students over the years and it helped me instantly connect with them. Cell phones and texting is my go to now. I’m 71, so texting is a miracle communication to me! LOL! If I had been able to text in high school and college, I definitely would have had a better social life. (Maybe better s*x life, too)😀 Has anyone out there heard of WHISP? It’s an app you can install in your phone so when you call someone, you can whisper (most stutterers do not stutter when whispering) but person you’ve called hears a normal voice. It’s a new tech startup in the UK. Check it out. You can Google it or see it in App Stores. It’s very cool! I’ve used it to call doctors offices, make reservations, hair appointments, etc. it isn’t perfect but it’s really really really helpful.
