Just wanted to share that I've noticed a trend of stuttering decreasing with age. I've noticed it mentioned on this sub-reddit, in myself and other famous people such as Bill Withers. In the case of Bill, his stutter became virtually non-existent age 30. You'll often see or hear of people who stuttered very severely as a child and into high school / college but then mid 20's and early 30s notice an improvement. Me included. I'm 28 now and no longer block on every sentence like I did back in elementary school. Just keep finding ways to practice speaking. Never stop exercising your mouth with either daily enunciation of problem sounds/ rehearsing rap god lyrics / recording yourself / reading. Whatver is comfortable with you. Set aside time each day todo something about your speech. Even if your not immediately seeing results, keep at for at least 18 months. Neuroplasticity is there for people who keep on practicing.
