I talk about stuttering a lot, because it is something I'm passionate about. The main theme of my conversations with people outside the stuttering community (and sometimes within!) is that most people know very little about stuttering, or what they do "know" is incorrect.

I was sadly forced to retire from most of my gaming habits once the time demands of adulthood set in, but I still love a complex German board game or well-written RPG on the weekends.
I joined the National Stuttering Association back in March. The NSA is a national non-profit group "dedicated to bringing hope and empowerment to children and adults who stutter, their families, and professionals through support, education, advocacy, and research."
