We have a communication disorder in a world with people who don’t. People who don’t have a stutter will never understand see the struggles we face day to day; mentally & emotionally. My parents are a prime example. My mother does not have a stutter & still asks “why can you say it now but not later”. My father does have a stutter & we constantly discuss the anxiety & stress that comes with “practicing” what you want to say then getting stuck when actually in the scenario to speak. We can’t imagine the idea of speaking fluently & they can’t imagine the idea of stuttering.
