Questions for Stutterers!! I’m “that guy” who’s writing a book with a character who stutters and has questions. Sorry in advance, but I’d rather be annoying than ignorant! 1) What caused your stutter? Was there a (traumatic) trigger, or did you develop it from birth/childhood—or even at random? 2) What syllables/letters/phrases do you have particular trouble with? 3) Are there times where stuttering gets worse? Maybe around strangers/uncomfortable environments? On the other hand, are there things that help with your stuttering? 4) What’s it like living with a stutter? I’m autistic/adhd and have trouble speaking sometimes so I can imagine what having a stutter is like (I have trouble with W’s, I’s, F’s, Sh’s, but not to the point that it’s considered a stutter), but that’s all I got—imagination. So, what are YOUR experiences like? Please be specific—I do not want to misrepresent the condition as a whole. And please let me know if there are areas where stuttering differs from person to person. Thanks much! :]
