Thank you for this post! I truly felt seen. For a so-called safe space, a lot of pseudoscience is peddled. The toxic positivity in this community is horrid! If someone's "positive" outlook is so fragile that even the tiniest perceived "negativity" can shatter it, they're not positive. Positive people don't have to keep chasing it. They are mostly content with themselves. I am inspired by those of us who understand there's no cure but still try to live and make it in the world. We are differently wired; that's more than okay. **None** of us are bad or flawed for stuttering. It's not a character flaw that can be corrected.
