Even at the age of 78f I still haven’t fully made peace with my stuttering. In my case it’s totally situational because of childhood abuse. I’m TOTALLY fluent in casual conversations, even on the phone but I’m unable to speak fluently when expressing requests or explaining anything. I have recently sought a referral to a speech-language evaluation at our medical school. For me even as elderly as I am I haven’t made peace with my stuttering. Have others really done this?
