Did you know it may be linked to a gene most commonly found in West Africa? Some populations have an adult stuttering prevalency of almost 10%! (I’m biracial with West African ancestry) Be nice to yourself. Would you judge someone for having dyslexia or a limp? Autism? Absolutely not. So, be kind to yourself and surround yourself with people who understand you. I find I often make better friends with other neurodivergent people.
