Just got this book in the mail, I heard it was a great book for stutterers. I just skimmed it and I felt so emotional. My stutter has been a taboo topic my whole life, I can’t wait to start this book.

I think this is a good point. If I talk to him again, which I am really hoping I get to, I might bring it up if the moment feels right. I've just always wondered what it would be like to meet anothe...
