I was going through my poems the other day and I found my take on the superpower thing that I wrote 3 1/2 years ago. I stammered since I was a child and the last 34 years or so I have been on a journey of finding the nuggets of gold that are hidden inside what can be a very difficult condition to live with. If you love it it becomes a source of strength, and both it and you transform.

Distancing yourself from the #disability community, when you’re obviously disabled or a person with a disability IS caused by #ableism & internalized ableism I’ve seen this frequently in the #stuttering community & the #ADHD community #InternalizedAbleism #StutteringAwareness #StammeringAwareness

I wanna share a story about people having a bad day. Because right now that's more common than it's ever been and some of us need a reminder to just be kind to ourselves.
I have a speech impediment. It's a lifelong thing and it confuses a lot of people when they meet me, mainly because I work so hard to keep it under control. I even have a YouTube channel because that's the level of self-tormenting I subject myself to these days. It has helped me learn to control my speech better.
But it's hard work. Seriously hard work. My brain is working triple time to search of better words, better neural paths, better ways to get words out fast and get myself out of the line-light. Every conversation is immense effort to make myself appear semi normal.
So how bad can it be? On a bad day I cannot even say my name. Yesterday was a bad day.

This isn’t something I talk about publicly much. The stutter and the lisp are a large part of the reason that when I worked full time in sports radio I was an off-air producer. Once in a while the on-air people would mock me.
Years later I would appear as a subject matter expert on those same shows.
Photo of all the stuff I brought with me when broadcasting on ESPN+ in order to keep my head on straight. The various tokens helped me not think.I’ve also hosted 100s of podcasts, appeared on many dozen more. I used to be an analyst on ESPN+. I’ve been the MC for crowd events of four figures. Even now I host and sometimes appear as an analyst on security briefings.
Some people may have noticed the stutter. Others might not have. But it’s always something I think about while prepping. I also avoid words that would trigger the lisp — these happen to include the most common names I like for fantasy characters, which isn’t ironic. I think I like those names in writing because I struggle to say them. The lisp will often trigger bad stuttering.
Once upon a time I spent several hours a week in speech therapy for the stutter and lisp. I don’t remember those lessons consciously. They seep into how I grew up and who I became.
Somehow I won trophies in competitive speech while in high school. The stutter was still there.
It was there haunting me today in the Global Security Briefing. It haunts me when I DM. It haunts me when I’m a player.
One of my compensations is to spit out words as rapidly as possible. I don’t permit my mind to pause and think. I just do it, rapidly. My current character Xabal talks this way at the table. It’s easy for me to channel because it’s something I do. Xabal is an Artificer, inherently magical and constantly tinkering. Their speech pattern is part of them and has no impact on their magic or heroism. It’s just who they are.
I think that’s important when you consider playing a character with a stutter, lisp or other ‘issue’ with language. I’m not a weak speaker. It’s nearly been a profession for me. Xabal is different because of their speech, but isn’t weaker because of that.
I know coaches, other broadcasters and pro athletes that stutter. They are very good at their jobs. Yes, like me there are times when they doubt, when they compensate. But they aren’t lesser. They have a trait.
If you play a character with a stutter recognize that this is a trait. Don’t play it as a weakness. Don’t play it as a strength. It is a state of being.
I’ve been rewatching Agents of SHIELD lately. Early in the story cycle Leopold Fitz suffers an injury that causes him to stutter, but it’s because of a brain injury. In this case actor Iain De Caestecker was using the struggle to find the perfect word as a character element that was initially a weakness, but became a state of being.
Watching and rewatching Leopold Fitz develop and not-quite-conquer the stutter helped me open up about my own lisp and stutter. Because De Caestecker isn’t mocking me and others. He’s honoring that struggle. He also does a brilliant job of removing the in-character stutter during the season 4 Framework arc when Fitz is again his whole self, mentally.
I don’t get to remove my stutter.
I’ve listened back to various podcast and broadcast appearances and know when it has happened. I speed up in a way that harms communication because I don’t want to get th-th-th-that moment. I don’t want the obscenely long pause as my brain can’t tell my mouth the words to use.
So I go fast. It’s part of why I was decent at cross-ex and impromptu. I could spew words out rapidly.
But also there are times when I lose track. These tend to be emotional moments. My practice and therapy disappear. Since it happens at highly emotional moments and then the pause or micro-chunks of words happen I get interrupted.
That’s probably the time I get the angriest about the stutter — the interruptions (this is also where De Caestecker got it right). My state of being stops being valued. People can’t wait for me to find the proper word.
I don’t know why this is going up on my mostly D&D blog at this time. Probably because of Agents of SHIELD, probably because of the passing of James Earl Jones a few weeks, who I didn’t know stuttered until he passed. Jones is one of my favorite voices ever. His work in Star Wars, Field of Dreams and as the voice of CNN were inspiring to me, a dream voice that I wish I had!
And yet as a youth who loved those performances I didn’t know a stutterer could be one of the grandest voices in the world. Maybe that knowledge would have helped me be a better speaker, maybe I would have been a radio host.
I’m in a great place without that knowledge. But Jones passing caused me to wonder about my youth.
If you’re a D&D reader who has stuck through this long, remember — a stutter isn’t a weakness. If you don’t have a stutter don’t use a character with a stutter as inspiration for a Wild Mage. If you do have a stutter channeling that trait into magic would be awesome.
Yes, that’s the same general guidance for playing other characteristics that you don’t have. It’s not a joke. It’s not a weakness. It is. And no, I’m not stuttering right now.

It's been curious (though maybe not surprising) that most news outlets and pundits have thus far politely sidestepped or ignored discussing how Biden manages his stutter in the context of the debate.
I've seen the phrase "gish gollop" used to describe Trump's strategy of attack during the debate. While every person who manages a stutter is different, I can speak from experience that responding to a gish gollop is especially challenging.

As someone who (mostly) successfully manages a stutter to where most people don't notice, I sometimes get random texts and DMs from friends, acquaintances, and others when Biden's speech fluency is in the news.
My thoughts on the post-debate discourse from the past 24 hours ... [1/3]
