Later on, I met a speech therapist. My guess, was, that he did not even know the rudimentary facts of stuttering. He convinced my parents that they should just forget it and it would go away. Those early days were pretty traumatic. Once you reach a certain age, people are mature enough to react to stuttering and you are mature enough to handle adverse reactions to a disability.
School days are different.
Insensitive colleagues, insensitive teachers made life miserable for me. I still remember one of the teachers who handled Tamil, my regional language, which incidentally was my second language. He knew I was a stutterer. He used to call me to read aloud in class. I probably used to stutter on every word.
