I just started my stutter journey. Do you have any tips?

I just started my stutter journey. Do you have any tips? I was recently diagnosed with PANDAS, an autoimmune disease where my brain is attacked in response to a strep infection. This puzzled my doctors, as it occurs mostly in children, and even then very rarely. As a result, I had a large delay in my treatment, which made symptoms worse. But, I already dealt with the non-stutter symptoms (i.e. OCD, tics, etc ) in the past, so I have some experience. But a stutter of this magnitude is very new to me. I outgrew a stutter I had when I was a very young child (4 years old), but I really don't remember anything about it. It was tied to my childhood mutism if anything. I also didn't have such a solid grip on language, so most tips and tricks I would remember probably wouldn't apply as well. With my current treatment plan, my stutter shouldn't be permanent, but it can still come back after another infection or even exposure. Worst case scenario, since I didn't receive treatment in a timely manner, I may have permanent brain damage and my stutter may never actually go away. But in the past few days, my stutter has decreased in severity, so that may not be the case. I've been taking a public speaking class, and I want to continue it without any large impacts. It has really helped me flourish socially, and it's a very interesting way to spend time while getting an elective credit. I have been joking about my recent stutter with my peers, so I'm sorry if it's insensitive or not helping the cause for acceptance. However, I am experiencing more mocking about it as well. I'm interested in the treatment other (natural-born?) stutterers by their peers. So, do you have any tips for speaking or otherwise coping with your social ability (or, if you are so inclined, perhaps lack thereof)? PS: In the small amount of lurking I've done, this subreddit is one of the nicest and accepting places I've been. So if you don't help me, I still appreciate the effort you put in. Even reading this "rant" helps. TL;DR - I have brain disease and developed a stutter as an adult. I am taking a public speaking class, too, but that's not as important. What are some ways to help?
