Not really. I do have an IEP so I don’t have to present in front of the class but I did have to privately with a teacher or video record my self presenting. But besides that, I found it hard to make friends, had my stutter mocked or laughed at whenever I had to speak out loud, and people treat me as if I’m not “as smart as them” just because I stutter. That stuff just doesn’t put me in the right mental space. Not sure how I can view this as a blessing when it only ever just made me feel like less.
