recently started stuttering (f20) i can’t remember exactly when i started stuttering, but it was definitely within the second half of this year. i keep thinking that i must be doing it for attention or something, but i also do it when im alone talking out loud to myself. it’s as if the sentence i want to say is jumbled up in my head and i can’t get the words in the right order. or it is in the right order and i just get stuck trying to say the words. also it doesn’t happen on specific words/sounds. at the start of this year when i was 19 i got diagnosed with autism (this tends to get missed until a lot later in women) so im unsure if this could be related? i do get anxiety mainly in front of strangers, but im also stuttering in front of friends/family and as i said even when im alone. this is all so new to me and as i can’t see a trigger for starting it i keep thinking i must be putting it on for attention.
