My mom never gets it. I have a stutter all my life. My mom keeps saying I should watch The King's Speech. Yeah, I watched it. But it is NOT the basis for every stutterer to stop stuttering. Never. Not every stutterer will lose their stuttering. She also thinks I should practice reading more to improve my speech. That's like saying a person with dyslexia to practice reading better, or a person with dysgraphia to practice writing. And reading (having words in front of me) is a preparatory set, I don't even stutter when I read, so what use is it? And she keeps referring to it as a speech *problem*. No, it's a DISORDER. She also keeps putting me down that no job would hire me and such (I will never work for a job that discriminates my stutter. Never.), but that's illegal and against disabilities laws. I'm an adult and she had this mentality forever despite going to some of my speech therapy sessions. Ugh.
