When i was 17 I went to a clinic in Virginia where I went through therapy with 11 other people with a stutter. I got to talk to them a healthy amount. It was the first time I'd ever met people in pers...

Has anyone here ever met someone else with a stutter in person? I'm 18 and have been stuttering since I was 5 or 6, and aside from my immediate family, I've never met anyone else with a stutter. I'd l...

Thanks for your ideas. That very well might be what he(?) was referring to. Kind of like big picture v. small picture. I was wondering if he was referring to the linguistic (word meaning) v. the mot...
