I find acceptance particularly difficult because of how variable the condition is. Some days I speak well and I feel like I can do anything. Other days I have long blocks and struggle no end. It is hard to accept something that varies so much in intensity. Acceptance for me is about not beating myself up for things I cannot help and being more open to acknowledging that I have some limitations. Stuttering is a disability and I sympathise with anyone who has to live in places where that is mocked.
