Dude, living in reluctant acceptance all this time... It would be totally sweet to have the healthcare field do something for us all.  It actually makes me feel a lot better that legit medical doctors and scientists are on it because all the SLP I received from Bachelor Degree folks 1990-2000 seemed like theoretical quackery. As an adult I found out it basically is exactly that. The people who had me sound out BS while I should have been in art class truly honed my ability to detect when someone/something is a waste of time. I hope those people found more fulfilling careers. Away from kids who stutter, and can't help it. (I DNI with SLPs or people who endorse their techniques lol!!) Imagine instead of making a living off treating kids like they can control the effects of a genetic disorder... Imagine if my school and doctors had treated me like a kid with a genetic disorder who should not be bullied into fluency.  There is a local school named after the useless SLP who wasted a chunk of my childhood by being an expert in pretending SLPs knew anything about stuttering. I truly would have done better if I were not othered by SLP services. Which showed absolutely no improvement. I do not know how what they did was legal. I know being a US public school they got state money to do that to my childhood.  The rhythm thing is fascinating, for what it's worth I have absolutely no musical talent or dancing ability. Also this sort of assures me of why the tapping on my thigh/shoulder my partner does helps, helping me keep track.  Gonna use this next time I am about to prove I can't dance.
