What you say is interesting, because it's different for me. I don't necessarily want other people to wait for me. If I would have my legs broken, I don't want people around to wait for me. I want them to do so sometimes, when we all comfortable to do so. But another situations when we all need to speed process up, it's okay if they help me. To me it's exactly what makes me not defined by stuttering. I admit that I have stuttering and I can accept that it's just a feature, not something sacred. And I don't expect other people to always ignore the fact that I have stuttering. If we talk with different speed it makes the difference. And someone posted a link to YouTube scene from the Penguin. I saw a waiter and a young man stuttering and an older man who taught younger to talk as much as he need to even if it means that others will have to wait. I didn't like the scene. Instead of asking person with a stuttering how he want to be treated, a guy just teaches him how he expects him to act. Same way as the waiter did before by not letting him to say his phrase to the end. I feel that my English in this post was awful. I'm sorry if it's so. I hope post is understandable. Will try to translate more with GPT if it's not.
