I have a stutter and also autism - anyone else the same? One of my biggest passions (due to autism) is learning foreign languages but my stutter is much worse when I try speaking anything other than English. It’s very frustrating. People often view me as shy but often times I don’t want to talk because I don’t want to embarrass myself with stuttering
