I learned to see stuttering as a gift. I'm strongly into meditation and yoga, both require awareness of myself and my surrounding. So stuttering became my gateway to awareness. The more focus I put on my speech, the more fluent it become. If I stutter very strong I know I try to talk on autopilot. It doesn't work. Stop, take a breath and slow down as much I can. . Our society puts a mistake Label on everything that isn't the norm. Can't speak proper? There's something wrong with you. Autism? You don't function the right way. The list goes on. It's not a very helpful approach for affected people. Autism is beautiful as is stuttering. It gives uniqueness to a society where everything is forced into line. Learn to love your uniqueness (:
