How common is it for us people who stutter to also “stutter” with our handwriting? This has been a thing that has been on my mind for a while now. I stutter and have frequent blocks just like everyone else in this sub, but I have also noticed the same thing with my handwriting over the years. There are certain letters I try to write and have a hard time trying to initially get them down on the paper, my hand will sort of block and it’ll take me a couple seconds to finally be able to write down the letter or number. This has to be connected with the actual verbal stutter I assume. Is this common among most people who stutter? I feel like stuttering is more than just a speech disorder...
