Thank you for sharing your story! I stutter as well! One thing that stood out to me is that stress did not cause your stutter! Stuttering is a disorder and often hereditary. That’s like saying stress caused someone to have CP or MS. Stress can exacerbate stuttering but it does not ultimately CAUSE it. Either way, your story is beautiful and I am so proud of you! It’s a hard journey... I hope to see you at the NSA conference sometime!
