That I had Tourette’s. One time in high school I was stuttering mid word when I had actually been having a good day of fluency. My classmate who had not known I stuttered held up his hands in a surprised way and asked “do you have Tourette’s?” I was so incredibly embarrassed. I laughed it off as I usually did and moved on in the conversation. I guess he’d never met a stutterer before, let alone a girl that stutters.
