From an early age I had differences in my speech, talking later than my peers and then developing a stammer when I was around 9. I’ve read that a lot of stammerers become authors as it can be a good place to seek refuge from disfluency and where they can communicate their ideas and creativity. As someone who is also Dyslexic sadly this wasn’t the path for me, however luckily, I did find the same sanctum in drawing.
