>if we just got therapy on time, we wouldn’t have developed fear, avoidance, anxiety, etc. You don't know that. I'd been in speech therapy all throughout my childhood and I still developed all those things. Most SLPs don't know how to help and some do more harm than help. I wouldn't hold it against your parents too much either. They didn't know and most kids do grow out of it. Maybe they can help you with speech therapy now.
