We know there are great examples of people who have achieved with a stutter but I cant pretend it doesn't lessen those chances. Either way, its not about what he can/will achieve its about if he's happy in the future etc, but right now it's frustrating him and making him self conscious. If he were born with it, I'm sure it would be less of an issue for him but seeing as it's just come out of nowhere, that's the bit that hurts right now. I'm hopeful it'll disappear as fast as it arrived, and I'm sure once I speak to a professional I'll understand a little more about it all.
