> Maybe some of us are able to just accept that our lives are irrevocably limited or altered by this disfluency, but acceptance might only be a consolation prize for having no alternative.

Do you know what else is limiting you? Your fear of stuttering loudly and proudly. But, that's something you can change through acceptance. As an adult, the chance that you stop stuttering is extremely small. So you have two options: 1. stutter and get caught up with feeling bad about it or 2. stutter and get on with your life
