You may feel that “stuttering has ruined your life” but in fact it’s just a “bump in the road” or an exit ramp down the continuous path of LIFE! Lemme ask you, what color hair were you born with? Why,...

My stutter varies a lot. Gets better when I feel better about life in general. It does affect how extroverted I am. But I'd say it doesn't really affect my confidence any more. In theory, it's nothing...

Stress can make it come back. I'm 40F and it's come and gone for years at a time. I had speech therapy once in middle school, never again after. I just came off a bad fluency "relapse" that lasted abo...
