Yeah people tend to be more understanding but try to practice your public speaking and team work to the maximum. Had the same situation as you, so I started avoiding all these situations were my stuttering would be much more noticeable. Now that I’m working (real world) you can’t avoid these kind of situations and it has caused me much trouble and my stuttering is worse than ever before. Keep that in mind, practice and get out of the shell as much as you can. That would be my advice to my younger self.
