An experience I had today Hey all, I am a lifelong stutterer. I have 3 family members who stutter and have gone to speech therapy my whole life. I would des ribe my stutter as mild-to-moderate. People always tell me that they never realized that I stutter. I tell them that I have developed strategies to mitigate the symptoms and become more fluent. I have taught myself to have an iron mind, not allowing anything to get to me. I see media making fun of stutters, etc. Its all fun and what not... I am also an elementary school teacher. I teach little ones which has only helped me. I had a co-worker today who was telling me a story about how frustrating it was to listen to a student read to them because of how much the student stuttered. I have never felt hurt from someone talking about a stutter, but I just had flashbacks to when I was a kid and how I felt when trying to read to a teacher. I was genuinely hurt. I just had to vent, because I havent felt that way in a long time. Thanks for reading.
