I’m not agreeing or disagreeing with the mute vs stutter conversation, but I just want to say stuttering cannot be “easily mitigated” with speech therapy. Not all speech therapists accept adults, and if they do not all insurances are accepted, and even then people find speech therapy is only marginally helpful if attended constantly and consistently. No disrespect intended—I just want to dissuade the idea of people who stutter just having to “go to therapy” to ‘fix’ their stutter, because it’s very often not that simple
