The interesting thing is that it was only recently that I actually realized that before ninth grade, I didn't stutter at all. It was only after I moved to USA to pursue my masters and I was so nervous and had a hard time with my stutter did I realized this. It has all been moving so fast and UPenn is pretty hectic. Will definitely answer your question when I find time to actually think about myself and how I was and what are the changes that happened. One thing which I have been thinking about recently is the fact that I have been pushing and elongating a lot of words as an experienced stutterer. I guess it is a habit I got with all the stuttering that even when I don't stutter, I elongate or even wait a bit at the end of every word. And I've noticed this actually causes a lot of stutters. I've even started to find difficulty in words that needs to be said in a crisp manner without elongation like the shri part in shrink. Will definitely get back when I have enough time to actually observe how things actually compare!
