National President and Councillor
Vikesh Anand, QLD
I grew up thinking I was shy. In reality, I now realise that it wasn’t shyness but the fear of stuttering which caused me to keep my mouth shut in school, even when I knew the answer. I attended my first self help group meeting in November 2001 while living in the United States.
- For the first time, I spoke about my stutter with other people.
- For the first time, I did not feel alone.
- For the first time, I wanted to talk and not stay silent for fear of having a block.
- For the first time, I felt normal.
