I know that I am not the only one but when I go out everyone can speak normally and I feel like I am truly alone. My whole life I’ve maybe only met one or two stutterers and even then I didn’t disclos...

I agree that I think having an MC who stutters in a novel about other stuff is the best way to go and I don't think it's minimizing. Especially if they're the hero, or they're important and cool, kind...

Honestly love why I am going into speech pathology. They understand my stutter. I could never see myself doing any other job. That is a huge obstacle and interviews make my speech 1000000x worse, just...

I feel the exactly same way. When I was little and fluent I was super shy and never wanted to talk to hardly anyone. I didn’t say a word until I was 3 or 4 years old. Then ofc the inevitable happened ...
