A trending expression that is helpful is "acceptance and then evolution." I accept I stutter AND I have many choices. I can look at people during a stutter. I can take on feared words versus avoid them. I can order what I want even if I stutter. If you had dyslexia, you would 1) accept it and then 2) evolve- learn strategies and techniques for reading and spelling. btw, is 'plankton' one of your feared words? :) Tim- Atlanta, GA
