Stuttering from early childhood Hello everyone! I have been stuttering since I was about 5 years old, now I am almost 15. It is very difficult to live with it, especially when there is stress from exams and school pressure. In order to somehow reduce stuttering, when I speak I periodically have short breaths, either similar to laughter or crying and it looks very strange and I want to start speaking normally, because it seems to me that as a stutterer my classmates and teachers perceive me as autistic, although I do not know how it really is. Can anyone advise something?
