Hello OP. I have a stutter. I am 39 years old and I’ve had it since I was ten. My father had a very very mild stutter (mine is much worse) and I had seizures when I was very young (around ages 1-2) and the doctor told my mother the seizures would stop (they did at age 2) but that I would probably have a stutter by the age of 17. Back then they called it a “Temporal Lobe Brain spike” that causes it. They also said bc of this speech part of my brain misfiring that the “art side” would work harder. By the age of 13 I figured out I can pick up any stringed instrument (guitar / violin / cello / banjo) you name it, and play it by ear within a month. I became a musician because I also figured out when I sing I do not stutter at all (see: Mel Tillis). At age 22 I moved to Nashville and was picked up by a producer named Kent Wells and did multiple heavy rock albums with him and I also have a duet with Dolly Parton that I can release when she gives the OK. (If ever, but hey it’s still cool right?) I asked the girl of my dreams to go out with me and we’ve been together 13 years this year. We have a son that has immaculate speech and does not stutter. He is 13. Moral of the story: those people can EABOD. There is nothing wrong with you and you could very well have perfect kids. And if they do stutter, it just means they will be amazing. Fuck what everyone else thinks. I know it’s hard. People treat me like I’m ignorant, low IQ, or just plain laugh at my face. The only reason I’m afraid to get pulled over is bc police hear my stutter and think I’m hiding something and it’s always a good time…. My wife leans over the passenger seat and orders for us both at drive thrus. I know your pain. But you are just as worthy as everyone else. Long response but hope it helps.
