Hi Anita, In some regards, I feel the same way. I have never considered my stuttering to be a gift, yet I can acknowledge that without it, I would not have met such great people and found a place in the self-help community. My stuttering has been hard - I have missed out on opportunities, due to my fears of being judged, disliked or minimized. So now it's like I am making up for lost time. I don't consider my stuttering a gift. But I do consider my ability to communicate well, with a stutter, a gift. I never believed that before coming out of my stuttering closet. What is the best part of your work with young people?
