Content

I took a communications class this last semester and obviously having to do oral presentations forced me to be more open about my stutter. I wouldn't say that I usually advertise, as I firmly believe that "this is what you get take it or leave it", and I don't apologize for stuttering when I'm interacting with people. I think that is why I felt "guilty" for having such a fluid moment. It was out of the norm, and I actually liked it, which goes against my feelings of this is not a problem, this is just me. Honestly I don't really have any clue what other PWS go about their day. In all honesty, it wasn't until about a 6 months ago that I actively started looking for groups to talk to about this.
