I think a scene showing how frequently many stutters have to be concious of their speaking/techniques/etc could be powerful. I speak to friends, colleagues, and even family and when it becomes clear that I'm basically thinking about stuttering or how to implement my techniques essentially every time I talk they sorta do a "whoa you think about it all the time?" It could be like where the camera follows a stutter around and the stutter articulates (verbally or non verbally) that they are thinking about stuttering or using their techniques. The frequency in which I would indicate this would show how much it's in my mind and how often I have to deal with it.
