You wrote an amazing article about stuttering! I loved reading it. >"I've become fluent in synonyms and word substitution, which further conceals my stammer, so I am not perceived as a person who stammers by some people. The societal lack of understanding of the condition has both allowed me to fly under the radar as someone who stammers and denied me a part of my identity. A double-edged sword. I still don't really know why I stammer. Maybe it's because glue-ear delayed my speech development; maybe it's my larynx or maybe it's even synaptic pruning. These, I found, are all possibilities with compelling research backing them. Pinpointing the exact cause of my stammer, something I subconsciously hoped to do, is, has become lot less important in comparison to the overwhelming sense of self-understanding and the community I’d found in the process."
