My daughter is in a similar situation except I stutter too (mom). And honestly, I haven't been rushing into therapy currently because there is an ebb and flow to her stutter where it improves and worsens (same as me). Although she's AWARE of having "hard to talk days," I've done speech therapy as a teen and it helped a bit, but I'm not convinced we need to rush headlong as she is understood well by myself and strangers. She has been evaluated and her fluency wasn't of concern at the time even with my history. I admit she probably WILL need the support of an SLP, but I'm not sure we need to fight for it right this moment. Or maybe I'm desensitized because I stutter too? My son has been in speech therapy for a dysarthria since he was about 2 (he is also autistic). Currently, his speech is a concern because no one can understand what he's saying and that's a safety risk and interferes with his ability to socialize. Maybe I'm naive, but do we have data to support increased fluency among stutterers with early intervention for a non-trauma-related cases? In this sub, many stutters have mixed results with SLPs, however, I believe most don't get support until later in life. Someone educate me! Because I'm not sure if I should be fighting hard for this or if my instinct as a parent supports my choices up until this point. I have no regrets about how my stuttering was handled as a child, and I didn't get support until I was 13.
