I hear you and agree. I used to be medium/severe, with sometimes over a minute of block, multiple breaths, not a single sound. In those periods it crippled everything, you can't really do anything that involves talking. At least i was not brave enough. And saying something like "Biden stutters" is just å massive insult, it doesn't compare. Now im a mild stutterer, it's been decreasing since my early 20s. At this point it's just an inconvenience, my mindset haven't changed, i'm still not any braver than i used to, i haven't worked on acceptance, i just stutter less. With that being said, i think every PWS, mild or severe, has things they can do to improve their situation, and giving up is not gonna help (I know that's not what you're saying 🙂)
