I’m so happy to see someone post about this here since I have had this exact same conversation with people close to me, trying to educate them that their tips and tricks - which would work on a fluent person that happens to have a stutter in the moment - will not benefit me or anyone with a pathological stutter but instead feel more patronizing. I really wish that people talked more about non-visible disabilities so that the world would be a more accepting, understanding and educated place for all of us cause it is quite shocking how little people know about stuttering, even in the medical field (saying this as a medical student who has had to explain to my own professors on multiple occasions that I am not nervous but have a speech impediment).
