I stutter. While my stutter is not as severe as that of the person in the film, it has affected, and will continue to affect almost every aspect of my life. From the decision my parents made not to put me in French immersion when I was 4, to the anxiety I feel about having to present in front of a group of people I have never met this coming Tuesday, my stutter constantly influences my actions.
Over the last few years, artwork such as this is starting to eloquently shed light on what goes on in the minds of stutters. Why am I typing this? I’m not really sure. I guess what I want to highlight from the film is the stutter’s handicapped ability to communicate his thoughts to the people around him. I guess what I’m asking is that when conversing with a stutter, do not mistake the inability to verbally convey thoughts with a lack of their presence.
