I was at the age of 4 when it all began. During the years I was on/off with my stutter. When I was 14/15 I was stuttering insanely. I was also moving my head back when trying to speak due to the blockages. My neck hurted as well due to this.Then, slowly my speech improved. I stopped moving my head that much, but now at worst, I have some facial expressions while trying to say a letter or a sound. Your stuttering will improve with age, trust me! It just depends when. I also worked retail, and eventually I became much more sociable than I used to be for obvious reasons. However, yesterday, while I was waiting the bus, a guy apparently with some form of medical condition asked me if I could speak with his mom. Later, it turned out that she wanted to see where is he so someone can make sure he gets on the right bus. When I tried explaining, she said “could you give the phone to someone else, I don’t understand you”. It was awful experience, I was feeling down the whole evening. Obviously, she was also scared for her son, so I don’t blame her for a such reaction. But it gets better. You start speaking more fluently with others and strangers and hearing less and less such comments. But stuttering will always be there. The only goal we can have is to make it mild, which happens with some speech therapy and with the help of your brain(and God working inside). Once we reach mild stuttering speech, you become a normal person.
