Hi Alex Thanks for your response. It was during my early adolescence that my family started talking about my stuttering in a negative way - why can't you fix it/stop it. If they had started talking about it earlier - when I was much smaller - in a positive way, I would have grown up with a more positive attitude about it. Starting to address it in adolescence was too late for me. The earlier parents talk about it, and the more naturally, the better. If they had handled it the same way as my blindness, I would have felt the same way about stuttering as I do about blindness - positively, a nuisance at times but nothing to be ashamed of.
