To live an authentic life our vulnerabilities need to be exposed. That goes for all of us. People who stutter are forced into it early and are forced to confront their vulnerability all.the.time. I’ve met so many PWS who are so articulate and emotionally aware. We heard a speaker today and it felt great to have such a great role model for my son, someone who encourages him to be open, to be himself, to deal with Life head on so he can be his best self. I’m not there yet, but I’m almost grateful to be part of the stuttering community. I’d still ditch it in an instant if there were a magical cure.
