Don’t worry, their stutter is not their “hurdle to overcome”!! It’s merely a facet of their character. Their hurdle is, for the most part, depression & anxiety, which I’ve been told makes stuttering worse, so when they overcome those things, I was thinking they would stutter less due to the relief of previous stress, but it is 100% part of them and I have zero plans to frame their stutter as “something to overcome” as it never goes away in their case. I also don’t care for that trope, which is why I’m writing this character, but I wanted people with experience like you to run it by before I flesh out that aspect of the character. Thanks for your input, it’s super helpful and your thoughts are valid!!🙏🏻💕
