Dear Jennifer,The experience of adults who stutter varies quite considerably. Some people come to terms with their stuttering and make out just fine, whether or not they stutter, while others may not feel comfortable with their stuttering, with or without having had therapy. People vary in their personalities, needs, wishes, coping mechanisms and in so many other aspects of life that I do not think there could be one answer for your question. I am glad you asked, though, because it brings up the important point that whenever talking with someone about their experience of stuttering, it is critical NOT to make assumptions about what they think or how they feel about their stuttering. I find it best to ask them and allow them to tell their own personal story. Best wishes, Lynne
