**I am so proud of you!** I stutter also and I always order food for my kids and wife when I am at the restaurant (my wife and son don't stutter but they are very shy, my daughter has a slight stutter), it is okay to stutter, stutter openly and proudly, nothing to be ashamed of. I have been stuttering my entire life and now in my 40s, I still stutter. It will get easier as you get older. Keep us updated with your journey.
