Wow. Love this. It’s a “clue” for living a life in flow. Little kids; most often, developmentally are living in their authenticity. So too, your inner being. I was a teacher for years. Got my first job teaching a week after my monthlong stuttering therapy intensive. I was determined to not stuttering dictate my life any more. After I got the job teaching 4th grade in Wash Heights in NYC, I spent a year stuttering my head off. At the end of the year, my mentor, Linda, told me, “you know how I know you’re a great teacher - whenever a student was angry with you and would come to me to complain, never did they once mention your stutter.” Also, be careful of being diagnosed all those labels. Not always helpful.
