Wow, thanks. I’ve stuttered since early childhood. The intensity has varied. In high school it was then worse but since then has vacillated from severe, rarely, to mild/moderate throughout my adult life. As far as advice, truly because this condition has many contributing factors try everything (Short of weird things like witch doctors snd frogs if you live in those countries!) really. Speech therapy with a specialist in stuttering, Psychological therapy to deal with your feelings, any self therapy you learn about. Even Dr. Gerald Maguire’s medication efforts. He really does have answers but isn’t quite there yet. Mainly, try it all, but realize that you can have a happy, productive life regardless of your stuttering. Many of us have. Self acceptance and hope go a long way. Your stuttering is on a spectrum. It will change in intensity.
