We should embrace our diversity. There's even a school of thought that autism and other neurodivergent traits are evolutionary advances. How anyone looks or talks makes them who they are and they shou...

I really liked it, especially the stutter positive parts. I am going to try and get my parents to read it next...

Thanks for the reply -- "enjoyed" was totally the wrong word! I was blushing a lot with an increased heart rate while reading it, particularly in the beginning. I liked the "stutter-positivity" elemen...

Wow what a doozy of a post. Kudos to you for the effort alone! Strongly disagree with 4 & 5. These only add more unnaturalness to speech behavior. Also disagree on 14. A lot of points (7, 10, 12,...

Stuttering is a very personal experience hence why I believe it should be reclassified as a neurodivergent condition instead of a pathology. There's no one path or even dozen paths forward. Every jour...
