It depends on several things. First, personality. Not all PWS have “bubbling” personality as yours. Then, stuttering degree. Then, tolerance to people’s reaction. So, the trip can be liberating as wel...

I’m sorry you had a shitty experience. High school is rough enough, even without stuttering. Peer pressure, high expectations and the fact that brains are not fully developed yet all point to high sch...

Thanks for sharing your story! I also thought I wouldn’t talk about it but I feel I need to or have to as my stammer is very unexpected and sometimes I speak very fluently and sometimes I’m unable to ...
