Thank you so much. I'll look him up for sure. We do deep breaths before speaking and we have all slowed down our rate of speech so he feels more comfortable. His stutter is directly related too or gets wise with anxiety i.e. talking to new people or being asked a question in school etc. With his adhd diagnosis he got more help at school but I'm beginning to think the adhd diagnosis may be as a result of his stutter. It's all so complicated ya know? But we are working through it and will get him all the help he wants or needs. My cousin why is in his mid 20s now has had a stutter his whole life and is going to talk with him on Sunday. With all the covid stuff the local support groups are all online now and it's unfortunate because while online I think his stress level goes up due to un muting and having all the attention on him.
