I'm 33 with moderate stutter. I'm currently taking speech coaching and it has helped. My little brother is 28 with severe stuttering. He is a teacher. He got fired from his first job but is starting again this year. I'm pretty sure he is also slight autistic. It took me years to accept it. He had no real friends. Early 20s he had to lie and make up stories to seem "cool" in social media. He has been tricked in his lifetime by people who took advantage of his innocents and good character. Dispite that he wakes up everyday and chooses positivity. Even with our history of narcissistic father that gave us low self esstem. He choices to let his passion run the course. Even if I have to wait a few seconds to minutes for him to say what he wants to say. He never gets discouraged. Shame on you for letting your life to waste Edit: he also has epilepsy
