Sure I completely agree. I am thinking about what it must be like to be mute and not being able to speak at all. You can talk in sign language and it is I guess your default and you are able to express yourself fully in that language. I wonder whether having a stutter may actually be harder to deal with (and not being present and authentic) than just speak in sign language. Of course it is hard to compare. Or is there any stutterer that knows sign language ?
