1. My stutter is developmental, and started in childhood, probably around 1st grade. 2. I have trouble with words that start with H, A, and I. I also have trouble with my name. I mostly block, where I can't start a word. 3. My stutter gets more prominent when I am nervous or in new situations, like introducing myself to new people. It also seems to get worse when I am sick. It gets better/I don't notice it as much when I am with people I feel comfortable with, like friends and family. 4. Living with a stutter can be hard and isolating. When I was younger, no one ever talked about it, so I felt very alone. However, I have started to accept it more recently and see it in more of a neutral or positive light.
