I am a huge advocate for speech therapy. If you find a good fit *and put in the work,* you may very well find fluency. I wouldn't set any arbitrary timelines at this point. But it's not inconceivable ...

That's great that they didn't react! When I was in school, I used to write my teachers a letter telling them I stuttered. You could probably email them. It was structured like this: - Intro, who I am...
