You took me back to my first day at work. Our orientation was going on in a conference room, every one casually introducing themselves. My heart rate was mimicking step function with my turn getting c...

There's a thing called secondary movements. If I was really stuck on a word I'd touch my face. When I was in Speech therapy years ago. They said it's just like a ritual habit and I broke it just by be...

If I get called on in math class when I’m not paying attention, I do the problem in my head as I stutter....
