#stutteringawareness
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

Imagine knowing exactly what you want to say… but standing in front of your entire class and feeling like almost every word is fighting to come out. ❤️ Last year, Lando stood up and gave his class representative speech while stuttering through it. He had jokes he thought were funny, things he wanted his classmates to hear, and a voice he wanted to share. But his stutter made it really hard for some of those words to come out the way he wanted them to. So this year, he decided to do something different. He’s going to SING his “vote for me” speech. 🥹🎶 And you guys… he is SO excited about it. As his mom, I don’t even know how to put into words what that does to my heart. Watching your child struggle to get his words out, knowing there are times he has so much he wants to say but speaking can be incredibly hard, and then seeing him THIS excited to stand in front of his entire class… my momma heart is so happy inside. You have no idea what it feels like as a parent to watch that confidence grow right in front of you. Singing has always been a place where Lando’s words flow more freely. Instead of letting his stutter make him afraid of this moment, he found his own way to make the moment HIS. Class rep or not, I couldn’t possibly be more proud of him. Keep using that voice, Lando. Spoken, stuttered, sung… every version of it deserves to be heard! #StutterFreeLando #WorthTheWait #StutteringAwareness #inspire #courage
