So many good and relevant points. As a mature stutterer unfortunately I have suffered from similar experiences and worse all my life. When younger I had high aspirations but unfortunately I have now settled for an 'easy life'. Frustrating but less stressful!
This has happened to me when l was in graduate school. Some of my classmates didn't want to be in my discussion group because of my stutter. However l didn't let them stop me. I usually don't have any friends when l go out because l want my individual freedom and have to feel insecure. Discrimination does exist but just be encourage that you are beautiful and fluent in your speech.
Just wondering: you start off by telling your name where yuh know that you will block on the letter T. so you start your usual stutter of 35 repetitions of the letter T before yuh get to the next block. Here is the question: As a Speech Pathologist you ever wonder why and how you severely stutter on theT? Have you ever counted to see how many times you repeat T and figure out how to mitigate that? Don’t yuh ever want to lessen your stutter repetitions down to 2-5 instead of 35x. Just wondering why not since you are capable of performing such an analysis???
I could control my stutter more and sometimes I choose to do that but other times I allow myself to stutter freely without having to think so much about how I’m speaking. In those instances I allow myself to stutter and I’m okay with that. It’s all a balance of communicating effectively and being authentic and happy with how you’re speaking (and how much effort you’re using to speak).

Really like your glasses. Are your lenses tinted? Maybe the camera adds a bluish tint.
Thanks! No, it’s probably just the angle of the camera.

Gosh, life is hard for Americans. She got a paper cup. I have stuttered for 45 years and this kind of thing is NOT my concern.
Living on Amazon land... what’s your experience with ALEXA. Can you give us an example if possible. If not, how about SIRI?
