Had a horrible stutter as a child but my brother knew what I was saying and was a translator When I was around 4-9. My stutter was so bad that my younger brother (by a yr) could understand me. I would come Back into the house from playing and ask my mom or family for something and I would stutter so bad that they couldn’t understand what I was trying to say. Eventually they figured out my lil brother could understand me and they would have him translate my incoherent ramblings to them. So most of my childhood had my brother glued to my side ready to translate my stutter to other family or friends Did anyone else experience something like this?
