A note about the stuttering community: Anyone who stutters can tell you that stuttering can be a very isolating experience. So getting involved with the community feels like you are amongst your people and are a part of something bigger. If you or anyone you know stutters, I highly recommend getting involved with the community. People in the stuttering community are some of the most welcoming, loving and kind individuals I have ever met. The acceptance and support I have received from the community have been life-changing.
