Has anyone here "grown out" of their stutter as they got older? Lifelong stutterer who just discovered this subreddit. Anyways... When I was younger, like in elementary/middle school, my stutter was much more pronounced and just all around bad. I'm 20 now and it isn't nearly as much of a problem as it used to be. I still get stuck on certain sounds, like "ch", "kuh", or t-sounds, but for the most part I can speak normally without any stumbles. Has anyone else here experienced this? I'm curious to know, since I've never met another stutterer in real life.
