I agree. I am stutter-positive in general but it can become toxic when you don’t allow someone to give full range to their negative feelings. The feelings don’t come from nowhere. Also I think toxic positivity makes positivity sound easy. Anyone CAN improve their attitudes about stuttering, and therefore improve their lives, but it’s not EASY. It takes concerted effort and mindfulness.
