In reply to the discussion: Maybe useful info, by a 'friend:' [View all]Mr.Bill
(24,284 posts)11. I am also a stutterer.
I was a disaster in grade school. Basically I coped in my teen years by expanding my vocabulary so when I felt a stutter coming on I could substitute a synonym. By high school I could speak pretty normally. In my late 20s I was able to speak publicly to 10,000 people at a convention. I'm 67 mow and only very occasionally wind up with a stutter here an there. I will be conscious of it and working on it for the rest of my life.
I agree with everything in the OP. I admire Biden for what he has done with this issue.
