Ordering McDonald’s with a severe neurological stutter! I’ve had a severe stutter since I was 4 years old, and some days are definitely harder than others. I’ve been getting over a cold recently, which has made my speech significantly worse than usual. You’ll notice I say “um” and “like” A LOT throughout this video. Those are filler words I use to help me get through speech blocks and make it easier to get my words out! Also, I never realized how many times I say thank you until watching this video back LOL. Now I understand what my boyfriend means when he says I thank people too much. 😭 And just to address something before the comments start, yes, I know I could order through the app or go inside, but having a speech disability doesn’t mean I shouldn’t be able to use a drive-thru like everyone else. Even if I ordered through the app, I’d still have to speak to someone to tell them I’m picking up my food. This entire interaction took about ONE minute. Someone ordering for four kids could easily take longer than that, and even if I did take longer, that’s completely fine too! Sometimes I just need a little extra patience, and that’s really all there is to it. 🤍 #StutteringAwareness #Stuttering #SpeechDisability #DisabilityAwareness #McDonalds
