i’ve been through several speech therapists and tried several techniques. i most recently saw an SLP who told me there was nothing more for me to learn. fluency isn’t possible for me, and i’m okay with that. i don’t like to speak because it’s physically exhausting for me. fortunately the people around me understand that sometimes i just don’t want to talk at all because it’s beyond my capacity at the given time, and that’s a huge blessing in my life. i wish the rest of the world was so kind.
