Thank you for asking and wanting to be accurate! 1) Most often: sh, s, f, glottal stop (like the beginning of *apple* or *if*). Sometimes: t, ch, w, k. It's not an exhaustive list, but those are my more common "trouble sounds." 2) I don't try to mitigate my stutter. With my stutter, I repeat sounds in the 1st letter in a word, or especially the beginning of a sentence. But I don't tend to have "blocks" where you *can't* say something, so I don't personally fell the need to "get over" my stutter. I just stutter through my words, as it's much easier and more natural to me than any mitigation techniques. But that's just me -- everyone has different experiences of course! 3) If someone cuts me off, it certainly irks me, because I know I would've got through the repetition soon enough if they'd just wait a second! It comes off to me as very impatient, and a bit controlling, even when it's done with good intention. The exception is close family and very close friends. I'm generally okay with them occasionally finishing a word I'm stuttering on, because they know me well enough to kind of "read my mind" anyway. 4) For writing the character, it's really important that their stutter doesn't define their personality. For example, I'm opinionated, honest, and caring. And if we're talking about things that might help define my identity: I'm Autistic, gay, and disabled. I think it's really important to keep in mind that people are very complex and unique. Most people have many overlapping identities, and stuttering is not necessarily the main aspect of their life. Also, I like the idea someone else brought up, about only "writing" the stutter in the beginning, or maybe just occasionally. Since it'd be awfully hard to read otherwise. Maybe just when the character has more difficulty than usual, or if the stuttering is relevant to the specific scene. I'd write my type of stutter, which is mostly repetition, like this: Sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-show Af-f-f-af-ffect Also, remember that sometimes you have to repeat a sound longer before you get it, and sometimes you get past it quickly. I repeat sounds maybe 2-10 times before I can say the whole word, and the number can vary if I'm having a good speech day or not -- it's quite arbitrary! And the sounds I get caught on most often tend to need more repetitions before I can say the word. I'm glad you asked *us* about this, and didn't rely on stereotypes. Hope this helps for your story!
