I just want to do my due diligence to help my kid and not be a neglectful parent if I can help him. It’s hard to go from “this is normal and they will grow out of it” to the whiplash of “there is nothing you can do.” Though he’s pretty chill about it, it makes communicating with others at times frustrating. Not for me, for him. If there truly is nothing but acceptance, ok, I can do that. But my kid deserves me at least asking the question I’m asking… because no one has been able to talk to me about it. No one in our family or life stutters. If this is truly a “reassess your attitude about neurodiversity” problem, then I would not be someone who is willing to relax if there is truly no way I can help him. But how do I know that? The one horrible SLP who said he’s like an alcoholic? Someone in the speech world needs to be HONEST with me and say there is nothing to be done. In that case, why waste our time and effort going to speech?
