I do agree that thinking that only your speech is holding you back is wrong but I do not agree with people who want to get rid of stuttering to be ''behind'' people who accepted it. I accept that I stutter but that does not mean that I am content with it in any way. I am sure that I can minimize it to a point where it does not affect my daily life and this takes hard work and a lot of effort BUT if somehow I could just take a pill instead I would certainly do that. I just want to point out that acceptance is not the same as conquering stuttering in my book.
