I try to tell my close friends. I don't pass it off as a legitimate stutter unless they're pretty educated or else it just ends up in an endless conversation about how they can try help me, "slow down...

Private. I live in Australia, so she went to university here apparently. I recall it being over $100 per hour. I feel sorry for my parents having paid that much to a "therapist" who was adamant that I...
