So I developed a stutter when I was in about 3rd, or 4th grade. It started after I began taking one of many ADHD medications. It was either Ritalin or Straterra, can't remember which. It was fairly bad for most of my young life, especially so in middle and high school. My stutter has always been more of a blocking kind rather then getting stuck and holding or repeating a syllable. I was always quiet, I had mild fluency when talking to people I was more comfortable with and didn't feel like I needed to rehearse or build things up in my head. I noticed later in life certain things that made me relaxed decreased my stutter (weed, alcohol) and when i was about 20 years old I started meditating, which I don't know how many of you guys also have ADD but it's fucking difficult paired with that. Fastforward a year, I went on a meditation retreat with a couple friends for 10 days. It was a style of meditation called Vipassana. 10 days of no talking and just observing yourself. I don't know what exactly did it but in general my speech has gotten progressively better since then. I'm able to work very social heavy jobs now. The kind of jobs that involve approaching people that I would have froze up and over rehearse what I needed to say. My stutter comes out every now any then still but it's rare. I've heard, especially from others who have a stutter that mine is near undetectable. I'm sorry for the wall of text. I just found this subreddit and this felt really really good to type out.
