So long as I'm not reading from the book, I do okay, so the only thing I was avoiding at all was direct reading. This was just a bit of a surprising moment for me, but a pleasant one. I was sure everyone could hear it as much as I could. I think my classmates have been okay with me. I've had teachers ask me before about accommodating my anxiety disorder assuming that I would have some issues speaking in front of the class, but I've always pushed that aside. The only people who have ever been problematic about my stutter were my parents (but I suspect they thought they were trying to help, because the only way I could get them to stop making fun of me is if I screamed over them.)
