Vocabulary… I got 800s both times I took the GRE… Great skill for writing (and speaking). Hyper Empathy… You can feel the moment someone is not paying attention and can sniff out other stutters after a few words. You can also notice a phony/sociopath/psychopath almost instantly (and avoid them). Character… You are going to get “punched in the face” a lot. If you endure the many embarrassments and make the mental turn to see yourself as a “Person with a Stutter” rather than allow others to essentialize you as a “stutterer,” you will know true strength and confidence and know what it is to genuinely live a much more authentic life.
